Responsibility.
• noun (pl. responsibilities) 1 the state or fact of being responsible. 2 the opportunity or ability to act independently and take decisions without authorization. 3 a thing which one is required to do as part of a job, role, or legal obligation.

Ability.
• noun (pl. abilities) 1 the power or capacity to do something. 2 skill or talent.

I've been thinking about this word lately, responsibility. This word holds meaning to many people. Some more profound than others. Above, I posted the meanings as per Oxford English Dictionary.

The verb respond, is connected to life and what happens. The saying, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." I'll always remember. We have the will to respond to life in a positive manner that agrees with our belief system and can excel us. We can also choose to respond without conscious thought that may lead to a negative outcome. Then with the ability is our given talent we use to respond with.

The point I'm driving is to be conscious and thoughtful with your reaction to life's happenings. This is coming from a humble heart. I make mistakes, and learn to respond differently each time. I am truly thankful and encourage you to never cease on being responsible.

Be Blessed :)
