In my years as a secondary school student, I was the only child at home with my parents because my other siblings were in boarden house in their respective schools. I learnt to work my chores into my school activities to ensure everything was well attended to. I remember onetime when I had an exam and I didn't want to cook because I really wanted to just read for the exam, I was told that people who write exams also have to eat. It wasn't so easy doing all those chores and still doing well in school but I did and I'm happy about all the lessons I learnt then because they helped me to form habits that are invaluable now. They made me responsible for things even when I feel it's something I shouldn't be bothered about. Responsibility was the lesson and is still the key.
Responsibility is a requirement expected of a person as regarding something. It is a response to something, a trait of being answerable to someone. It spreads through all areas of life including family, work or social organization. Just like the Managing Director of a company has a responsibility towards the company he manages, a father and mother, husband and wife, children each have their own responsibility. Everyone has a responsibility over something but most importantly, you have a responsibility over your self.
We live our life without making conscious efforts to find out what we want out of life and what we need to do to achieve what you want. We end up living a life of "anything goes or anyhow it turns out". We can have dreams and aspirations but without passion and taking responsibility to ignite the passion and sustain it, our dreams fizzle away or just remain silent and unachieved in us. At work, we focus more on what our organization is supposed to do for us and forget to think about our responsibility to them.
Once you ignite your passion, you ought to take full responsibility to enable you succeed in anything you set out to do. Taking personal responsibility can change your entire life and make you a better person. Personal responsibility has to do with giving your 100% and expecting nothing in return, it involves owning the choices you make and the ways you respond to whatever experience you have.
It involves not pointing fingers at anyone, not blaming anyone but you for something gone wrong, not waiting for someone else or the government to solve your problem. You are responsible for what you do, don't do, how you respond to what's done to you. When you have errors in your report, take responsibility even if someone else prepared it. If something has gone wrong in your life before now, forget about the past, eliminate all of your excuses, assume personal responsibility of your life, Darren Hardy. Dare to take responsibility of what is under your care. Its part of the growth process. If you dont have that experience, how will you be able to educate others.

Remember also that as a christian, you have an account to give of everything given to you to work with (Matt 25:14-40). Your wisdom, your skills, your expertise, your job description...
Once you can take personal responsibility, you can be in control of your present and your future.
