This is a very great key. If you can take all the responsibility, then you won’t blame anyone. You must know that this is your life, and if you want to success, you will have to walk this road on your own. Don’t give any excuses and don’t blame anyone if you fail. Have you ever heard of this words “if only”? This is a very lousy excuse often given by many people. Let me give you some example here. “If only I have a car, then I can make more money”, “if only I have more time, then I will invest my money”.

These words are so easy to use,12 KEYS TO SUCCESS - Be Responsible Articles but don’t use them. Take all the responsibility only then you can move to a higher level. Now, you can make good use of this power of responsibility in your life. How? Very simple, take all the responsibility and keep on improving yourself. Allow me to give you an example here. Like me, I’m a student, and if I failed my exam, I can choose to either blame the lecturer for not teaching me properly or I can blame myself and take the responsibility, so that I can study harder for the next exam. Therefore you see, if you take the responsibility, you will have the power to improve yourself.

The moment you blame the whole world, you won’t have the power to change. You will lose the chances of improving yourself. If your boss is not giving you a raise in salary, you can blame yourself for not performing well enough. What if after you’ve deliver your hard work, still your boss is not giving you a raise. You can still take the responsibility that you’re not showing your hard work to your boss. You know, there is no use if you work so hard and nobody knows about it. You must show your hard work to your boss. Well, you may say you’ve work hard and you’ve also shown it to your boss, but your boss still is not giving you a raise. Let me tell you what, take the responsibility, and leave. If you’ve created more value and your boss is not appreciating you, then you should leave. This is because the market outside will appreciate your value and pay you more.

So now you know how crucial this key will be. However, if you take all the responsibility, another phenomenon can happen. That is you blame yourself too much until you stay in a depress state and not improving yourself. This is a very bad thing that can happen. I mean you should blame yourself and take the responsibility, but it is not to the extent that you blame yourself until you feel depress and stay in a frustrated state. This will make the situation worst and you will not going to change. Therefore you must always control your emotion, make the positive decision. Just like KEY #2 – Control Your Emotion.

If you use this power of responsibility wisely, it can become a leveraging tool that will move you to a higher state of success. It will give you a flow of energy and you should put this energy in your life.
