SUCCESS = Being SELF RESPONSIBLE

I often come across frineds, colleagues, and acquintances including my students who quite reqularly cribb that inspite of being positive they are are not successful? This makes me to think "Is it only enough to be positive to be successful?". Being positive by thought and attitude is just a beginning and probably very first step towards successful life. However, it would not gurantee success unless one does not act with game plan. Thus one of the basic key factor to success is weather you assume self responsiblity or not? If you are not assuming self responsibility for your success, your ladder of success is leaning against the wrong wall.

Success is an ongoing process and it does not happen at one single day - this also means that as long as you donot become 100% committed to your success and take 200% self responsibility - success would always stay away from you. Once you take self responsibility - there is bound to be personal growth. Personal growth would lead you to achieve your dreams and goals. Self resposnsibility is accountability to success. As you accept self responsibility for each of the action and its output, you would be able to introspect about +ve and -ves of your each action, and thus can make corrective changes. As George Will said "Success goes to those who are paying attention, day by day". This is because "Success is a continuing process that requires consistent efforts", and self responsibility encourages you to do those consistent efforts.

When we become self responsible, we move ourselves into a group of more highly developed individuals. This leads your to highest levels on the ladder of success. Thus,

SUCCESS = being SELF RESPONSIBLE.
