Taking Ownership Of You

Everything we do and say in life, all our actions and decisions we make are things that we each have to live with. By "we" that means ourselves and the other people affected by them. Unfortunately, almost everything we do will ultimately affect someone else directly or indirectly. That is reason enough to give me pause. I am not sure that when caught up in a moment or situation that we really consider that fact. Every word that comes out of your mouth you are responsible for, every action and every decision you make you need to accept ownership for all of them. Just because you say something and may mean it one way, does not guaranty that the person on the receiving end will take it the way you may have meant for them to. Once the words have left your mouth you can not just reach out into space and time and reclaim them. The same thing applies to your decisions and actions.

Just think about it the next time you say something, in your actions and all the decisions you make. It will usually affect someone else in one way or another. Whether it is something major or something small, all I am saying is just give it some thought. We all know the old adage "Actions speak louder than words". How true is that statement? In my eyes personally, it rings loud and true.

Sometimes the smallest of things can sometimes have the biggest impact. Just try to take a few extra seconds or minutes to consider what you are doing in a single moment and how it will affect someone, either positively or negatively. You might be surprised how it may change the way you handle and present yourself or even in your own perception of who you are. At the end of the day, you have to live with yourself and take responsibility for who you are and what you do.....
