“You can see how the word responsibility is in essence the ability to respond. To become responsible is to step into this ability and chose to both create and respond to your life instead of to passively react to it as if it is happening to you. It is stepping into authority over yourself. It is a highly empowered state. It is a state of accountability.”

“Responsibility is the ability to respond.”

“Resilience is not what happens to you. It’s how you react to, respond to, and recover from what happens to you.”

“Be yourself. Be true to that, to your heart. Patience. See what happens if you step back instead of bounding forward.”

“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.”

“When boys and men are told they are needed, they respond, and become responsible.”

“Responsibility is actually at the opposite end of the vibrational scale from self-blame. But it takes a high degree of emotional awareness to see them as opposing states because both states recognize the self in a position of causation. For this reason, self-blame can disguise itself as responsibility like a wolf wearing sheep’s clothing. But one is self-hating, the other self-loving. One condemns the self and the other saves the self. If you are taking responsibility, you are feeling empowered. If you are self blaming, you are feeling bad about yourself and disempowered.”

“Life is not happening to you, it is responding to you, your thoughts, feelings and deepest desires.”

“Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”
