Take Responsibility

We must take responsibility for our actions. How we respond to our experiences and circumstances is our choice. We control it, but we give our power away when we blame others.

“When you blame others, you give up your power to change.” – Author Unknown

By making the choice to take responsibility we simultaneously gain the power to make the changes we desire to see.

“If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.” - Les Brown

By taking responsibility over your own performance you give yourself the power needed to enhance your own abilities.

Commitment

Commitment is at the center of excellence. Excellence cannot be achieved without a high degree of commitment. It is giving yourself totally to the task and directing all your resources toward the achievement and realization of your objective. It is when your objective becomes your responsibility, an obligation that can only be realized if you do it.
