\"Virtue<\/a>What do you mean I am responsible for where I am?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I can\u2019t be responsible for this mess, I didn\u2019t cause all those things to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does that sound familiar?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Are you in the habit of blaming anything and everything for your problems BUT You?<\/span><\/p>\n

Does this sound like you are possessing the Virtue<\/strong> of taking responsibility?<\/span><\/p>\n

I know its human nature to blame someone else, ever since Adam and Eve, mankind has been doing just that. But the truth is that its no one else\u2019s fault but your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

No, we can\u2019t control circumstances but we can control how we react to them, which in turn controls the outcome of the circumstance.<\/span> Charles Swindoll<\/a> sums it up nicely:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.\u00a0It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. <\/span><\/p>\n

It will make or break a company\u2026 a church\u2026 a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past\u2026 we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.<\/em> I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you\u2026 we are in charge of our Attitudes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The virtue in taking self-responsibility<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being a person of Virtue<\/em><\/span><\/a>: someone that is dependable, credible, worthy of joining up with,\u00a0 is essential for any successful business person and it begins with taking self-responsibility for what is occurring in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a person of virtue that is worthy of joining means you can:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
