Responsibility

    Responsibility is the choice we make to respond with care. Do you sigh when you hear the word responsibility? Perhaps responsibility is even a dirty word in your vocabulary - you associate it with burdens and restrictions; it represents the opposite of being carefree and without obligations? But responsibility doesn’t have to be a chore, or a cage. It all depends how you think about it. Responsibility is literally what it says – our ability to respond. It is a choice we make – whether to be attentive to our children’s needs, whether to be mindful of the plight of those less fortunate, whether to be considerate of the impact we have on the earth and others.
