Who’s to Blame?
Taking responsibility is tough. No one wants to admit when they mess up or they’re wrong—it goes against all our natural instincts. But when you start to point fingers and play the blame game, know that you are likely not the only one playing—chances are, there are several fingers pointing back at you. It’s best to learn to take responsibility early on—the first time—so you can learn from your mistakes and grow, becoming that much more effective as a leader. 

It’s Not Them, It’s You
Sometimes, when a person has a lot of problems with a lot of different people, the crux of the problem might very well be that person. When you’re looking at a problem, before you start the blame-game, take some time to reflect inward. How might you have contributed to the problem? Accept responsibility where it’s appropriate. Because if you are the “problem,” the only way to rid yourself of the same problems happening again and again, is to first fix the problem brewing within.

Who is Really Responsible? | MWM
https://youtu.be/Rp_4AOgrKTk
Don’t Make Excuses = Personal responsibility is a key ingredient to being successful. It is a success starter, while excuses are success stoppers. Taking personal responsibility allows us to improve ourselves. Don’t blame the situation, or other people, for a problem. Accept the consequences—actions and inactions have consequences that we can learn from. Practice this, and see yourself grow into a better leader. 




The Power of Taking Responsibility | MWM
https://youtu.be/UaGSFIjKFlk
Own Your Actions = The second way to parent with purpose is to teach responsibility. We all need to learn to take ownership of our mistakes or actions and not place blame on others. Instead of saying “sorry,” say “I’m sorry.” Teach your children to be responsible and take ownership. When we teach responsibility to our children, it leads to their development into mature adults. 





There is No Connection Between Excuses and Success
https://youtu.be/RtcbjQqqKrQ
Own Your Mistakes = In this week's Book Of The Week, Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn, John Maxwell talks about responsibility, which is one of the vital things that allows us to learn from our losses. If you don’t take responsibility for your mistakes, mess-ups, and losses, you will never fix them and improve yourself. It is easier to go from failure to success than to go from excuses to success. The only way to eliminate excuses is to take responsibility. 


https://youtu.be/jyuPmZGE4WE
Take Responsibility for Your Actions = People love to be empowered, but need to embrace the responsibility. When you are empowered to do things in life, the key is to take responsibility for it and follow through—whether that is taking responsibility for failure, or being the one to acknowledge its successes. Be responsible every time. 



https://youtu.be/Jj1PRp8_xrw
Always Take Responsibility = It is important for all people to have a sense of responsibility or to take ownership of their life. You will never do well in life until you take responsibility for your life—for your choices, for who you are, for what you do, for your actions. Take responsibility for the things that happen to you.



If you want to be respected, you have to be responsible.

Parenting Quotes

Quotes About Parents

  • Raising kids with strong character requires doing less FOR them and teaching them to do more for themselves.



==================
Parenting with Purpose (5-part Series)

Your Advantage When Times are Tough | MWM
https://youtu.be/0H77EUK6zFY
#Attitude Is The Difference Maker = This week, John Maxwell will share 5 important things to teach your children when parenting with purpose. Parenting with purpose is about leading your children correctly without overcorrecting them. The first focus is attitude. It is important to stress the importance of a good attitude with your children. People with good attitudes—who have a positive attitude during negative times—will do better in life. Life is tough!

Discover Your Strengths = You can parent with purpose by helping your child with their self-image. Self-image determines the friends someone hangs around with and even who they marry. The way a person sees others is influenced by how they see themselves. Having a low self-image can hold a person back because they can’t see themselves accomplishing a difficult, worthwhile goal. Help your kids see themselves well, and discover their own strengths. When they pursue those strengths to achieve and experience their own wins, it will build up their self-image.

https://youtu.be/kBBEqjTwdwM
Connect, Be Relatable = The ability to get along with people and relate to them is a key part in being successful. By learning to connect with people and relate with people your life will be able to reach its full potential. The world is full of people—the way you connect to them will determine how well they like you, and how much they are willing to help you. Connect, and be relatable.

Your Self-Image Determines Your Behavior = You need to allow yourself to see yourself well. If you see yourself as a 5 out 10, then who you surround yourself with will also be in that category, and you won't go after the 8's, 9's, and 10's. Your self-image determines who you are around, even who you marry. Your behavior is not based on how you see other people, how you see a job, or how you see others—it's entirely based on how you see yourself. 


https://youtu.be/Z84cuvW3UV4
Have Faith = It is important for us to have a good relationship with God and to know Him, to be able to communicate with Him, and have a sense of Him working and living in our lives. We have to be that example. He is the source. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

Nurture quotes

Quotes About Nurture

  • Nurture your mind with great thoughts. Benjamin Disraeli

  • Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them- we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed, and rare. --Brené Brown
  • God is less interested in answering our questions than in other things: securing our allegiance, establishing our faith, nurturing a desire for holiness. --‌D. A. Carson

  • First, unbelief can be nurtured by an unrealistic attitude to faith. --R. C. Sproul
