I love watching, listening to, and reading motivational talks. I think they do so much to help us keep our head focused on good things and to help us continually move forward in our lives.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday morning I was watching KBYU TV and a talk came on by a man named Lynn Robbins called \u201cBe 100 Percent Responsible<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0 In the talk he discussed the importance of being responsible and accountable for ourselves. He shared a list of the common tactics people tend to use to avoid being responsible. As he talked they displayed a powerpoint slide that contained this list and I knew I wanted to hurry and snap a picture of it with my phone so I could hang up the list somewhere I could see it often and make sure that I don\u2019t ever allow myself to fall into the trap of using one of these tactics to avoid being responsible in my life because I know that the best path to feeling happy is to always be willing to take responsibility for our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions.<\/p>\n

Here is the list he shared:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What an awesome list to be mindful of! And what a great reminder for all of us to assess our own lives and ensure we don\u2019t fall into the anti-responsibility trap, because that is a trap that will hold us back and keep us from ever truly being happy. Not only that but I would guess we have all had to feel the painful effects of having someone we care about not take responsibility for their actions, and hopefully we don’t ever want to cause that level of hurt on anyone we love by making that same mistake of not being responsible. In order for us to be our very best selves we have to make sure we avoid the anti-responsibility list at all times and in all circumstances.<\/p>\n

Have a great day everyone!<\/p>\n
