'Be responsible' is the advice I get from all to be grown-ups. 

How  to be responsible? 

Answer:

In spite of the canvas, despite the paints and the brushes involved, the quality of a painting is the responsibility of a painter. 

Similarly, the quality of a sculpture is the responsibility of a sculptor. If so, then the quality of your life is your responsibility and yours alone. 

Your life and your death are in your own hands. No blame is allowed. By blaming, you give up the power to change. 

By taking responsibility you gain the power to change and thus you take charge of your life. Only when you feel responsible For your life, you can respond with ability Else it will be responding with disability. 

Put your hand up and be counted. There is no better way for a man to create himself than to assume responsibilities. 

When you assume responsibility, always take it unconditionally. 

What it is not unconditional will never be done. There is no point in keeping the 'exit' door open all the time. Burn the bridges. conditions are required only to pass on the blame, in case, there is a failure. 

Don't even consider Failure as an option. Where conditions succeed, responsibilities fail. Where responsibilities succeed, conditions are redundant. Just take it and do it. 

Responsibility is in ensuring you never let a moment pass by you without you making your presence felt. 

Add value to every moment. 

Add value to every relationship. 

Transform every transaction by adding value to it. 

Let nothing pass by you without you adding value to it. 

Be an alchemist. Let everything transform in your presence. 

In turn, you will be transformed. 

In helping others to find themselves, you will find yourself. 

Be a reformer. Be the change agent. 

Man not only has the power to take responsibility for his own life, but has within him the capacity to take responsibility for the life of others too. 

Wherever opportunities present themselves, be the first one to put your hand up. 

Followers accept responsibilities. Leaders assume responsibilities. 

You take the initiative. 

You volunteer. 

You step forward. 

Announce your presence. 

Be counted, and make yourself count. 

If I ask you to carry a single granite stone weighing 12kgs and walk a kilometre, you will struggle with it. Now, I ask you to carry your child who is 14kgs for the same one kilometre and you will happily do it. Anything in life that is perceived as kashtam kashtam (difficult, difficult) will only appear to be even more difficult. Do the same thing perceiving it as ishtam ishtam (like it, like it), the most complex of tasks can be done with effortless ease. 

Stop viewing responsibilities as a burden and start seeing them as opportunities. 

Stop saying kashtam kashtam (difficult difficult) to responsibilities and 

step forward to take responsibilities 

by saying ishtam ishtam (like it, like it) • 

Happiness is in small things; Success is in big things

Meditation is in nothing; And, GOD is in everything...
