If you take on another's spiritual work wouldn't that deprive you both?
What do you do when you make mistakes? Do you have the courage to change for the better? Or do you analyze it over and over and at the end he/she is the one whom you blame? :)
I read on my Virtues card I picked today that responsibility is when we have the ability to respond ably.
Sometimes there are offers that come to us and we say "no" to them because we really know we can't do it and by that I mean we have done the same thing many times and haven't been able neither to produce a good job nor enjoyed the process. That's ok to say no. But, when there is a new journey life is offering it is good to say "yes" and see if I can enjoy the way I am dealing with it and, who knows, the end product might be more than expected :)
In another word, accept the responsibility to what I have said yes, do my best and have faith! Or is there something I am missing here? I probably am missing whole lot of things...LOL!
I love this below quote by Ron Baron and it has come to me several times.When this happens I know it can be either a confirmation or something I need to work on, it goes like this:
"My life is an influence on every life mine touches. Whether I realize it or not, I am responsible and accountable for that influence."
It seems to me there is not much we can do in this world without influencing each other. Even an act as innocent as brushing my teeth, if the water is left flowing, wastes 16- lit of water!
Now, in Norway, we believe, we have water and we can let it flow for no reason, in Israel or in Africa you have to be careful with water usage. Can I, in Norway, be careless about that just because in my part of the Earth there is lots of water and in the other part there is little?
What if my loved ones , my family members live in there? Would my feeling of responsibility grow?
To be honest, I don't know what I should do in Norway. And I am with you, if in your part of the world you don't know how you should deal with usage of water or anything else.
It seems to me that we need certain universal policies and principle, policies we all agree, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of love. Because as a responsible person we are accountable for what we do and we can give excellence to all that we do, we just don`t always know to what we should give excellence : )
Meanwhile I remember to focus on my own part, not someone else's.
You figure out for yourself what you want to do because I brush my teeth for 3 minutes and that is 16 liter of water if left flowing :)
