Responsibility
Who is responsible for how we feel? Is it our boss, our partner, our parents, our friends? This inspirational thought will give you the answer. These words of wisdom were written many years ago, but still have relevance today. While the inspirational thought is short the author makes his point well.|
Responsibility By George S. Merriam
A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the way other people bear themselves toward you.
The looks and tones at your breakfast-table, the conduct of your fellow-workers or employers, the faithful or unreliable people you deal with, what people say to you on the street, the way you look and do your work, the letters you get, the friends or foes you meet- these things make up very much of the pleasure or misery of your day.
Turn the idea around, and remember that just so much are you adding to the pleasure or the misery of other people's days.
And this is the half of the matter which you can control.
Whether any particular day shall bring to you more of happiness or of suffering is largely beyond your power to determine.
Whether each day of your life shall give happiness or suffering rests with yourself.
"No poet sings because he must sing. At least no great poet does. A great poet sings because he chooses to sing."
"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice."
"The key to your universe is that you can choose."
