Taking responsibility for my life is both daunting and comforting! Daunting in that I have to accept that my actions have personal consequences, for myself and those around me. It's acknowledging that my actions and incations have played a part in bringing me to where I am today. Comforting in that by acknowleding and assessing the ways in which I am responsible for my past actions that have lead to the now, I can then bring hope for the future. Hope for the ways I can take responsibility for things that are within my power to influence within my life. Obviously I cannot stop the rain, or save time in a bottle, but I can dance in the rain, and savor each drop of time that I wish to package in glass :)
Those who I see handle taking responsibility well without caging themselves, are those who allow themselves the grace to fail upwards. A bit like making bad art everyday :)
