Taking Responsibility for Your Life

Andy Stanley

Although we were created for responsibility, there is something in all of us that wants to avoid it in some areas. As a result, our irresponsibility creates conflict … conflict with our family, friends, co-workers, even strangers. When the heat is on we have two options:

Option A: Take responsibility
Option B: Blame someone else

We’d like to think we have the strength of character to always choose option A. But more than likely, we default to option B. Taking responsibility for your life is no easy task; there are many factors stacked against you. So what steps do you need to take to retire from the “blame game”?
