ACCEPTING LIFES
RESPONSIBILITIES
Accepting responsibility simply means
accepting that:
You have a problem, an issue or a
challenge and that it is up to us, and
no one else, to solve it.
You cannot solve life's problem except
by solving them.
You must accept responsibility for a
problem before you would be able to
solve it.

ACCEPTING LIFES
RESPONSIBILITIES

You cannot solve a problem by hoping

that someone else will solve it for you.
No problem can be solved until the
individual assumes the responsibility
for solving it.
When you refuse to be responsible for
your action, the responsibility waits for
you until you are responsible enough
to responsibly handle it.
