Quote for the week
“Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.”

There is a significant difference between being responsible to people and for them. Being responsible to people is when you feel responsible for another’s outcomes, pain, failure, feelings, problems, struggles, adversity, need satisfaction as well as success, joy, achievements and growth.
Being responsible to people means that you know that what they are experiencing in life – whether struggle or victory, pain or success, growth or stagnation – is what they have brought into their life to move to a higher plane. You are there, you care, you are interested, but it is their stuff to deal with, not yours. A great line I recently came across is, “seeing yourself as a victim, is to wish your circumstances to continue.”
