Take responsibility for success from "summary" of Here's To Your SUCCESS by Jeff Keller

Taking responsibility for your successes involves recognizing that you have control over your life and the situations that present themselves to you. It is not about letting fate decide, but about making decisions for yourself that will influence the outcome of any situation.

Understanding that one has a part to play leads to success. Acknowledging that feeling like you can make a difference and are a powerful agent in your own life is a key step to recognizing how to take charge of your future.

Become accountable for your actions and take ownership of them rather than blaming someone else if they don’t go according to plan. Taking attentive interest in the smaller details pays off handsomely and brings home the rewards associated with hard-earned accomplishments – something only achievable through self-responsibility.

By being in tune with oneself on an emotional level, it naturally follows that an individual recognizes their flaws and shortcomings. Thereby accepting full accountability for accomplishing great things is made infinitely easier by a clear awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses.

Time invested in careful planning and preparation always yields rewards. Be sure to break down all these steps into actionable items and treat each as an opportunity to take further responsibility for securing positive outcomes.

Acknowledge that sometimes, mistakes will be made and responded to appropriately. It is within our power to determine our response both to positives and negatives, allowing us the opportunity to proactively pursue solutions instead of simply reacting fearfully to misfortune.

Establishing realistic goals with specific milestones to keep track of increases the probability of being successful. With dedication, focus and commitment, achieving dreams then becomes a tangible proposal that requires the willing commitment and responsible action of the individual – nothing more, nothing less.
