NEVER MAKE EXCUSES
Accept Responsibility for Life.
Each day, we can make these decisions to bring our lives into balance, enjoy the experience more, and connect us to life in general.
Today is a day of potential with a chance of increasing your enjoyment and energy by accepting things as they indeed are and taking responsibility for them. Those two skills will allow you to experience a more happy and balanced life. It is a simple concept but takes discipline to perform consistently. It begins by being conscious of your thoughts, the words you use to express them, and the actions you take because of the ideas you entertain. These are not complex concepts to fathom, nor are they trying to put into practice, but few choose to do them consistently because you have to be consistent in your practice.
Things Are What They Are
It can be difficult for people to accept unpleasant things as a part of their lives. This fact is true of experiencing some significant change on our part. Sometimes it is just easier to wish things were like they used to be, but they never are. Change is happening all around you and inside you every 
day. The new comes and takes the place of the old, and that is a reality. To refuse to accept this is a cause of suffering. Things are what they are. To think anything else is delusionary.
Accept the things in life. All the changes and growth that are going to come until the time that life ceases to exist continually. Accept yourself and all others and the role they are playing in your life. Acknowledge that there is a divine presence in everyone, even if their actions are harmful and their behavior is unsatisfactory. Accept them and their journey as a part of yours. Life moves, injuries occur, rehabilitation is needed, you may find yourself down and in need of a comeback. All of these are possible once you accept how things are. You will have a solid base to go wherever you want. Accept things as they are because that is how they are.
Responsibility For All
My thoughts, words, and actions are all my responsibility, always. This fact is a 
concept more people should focus on in their life. We all make a million decisions in a day. Most are rote actions we complete daily, and those decisions are made subconsciously and may or may not represent what you want to stand for. Focusing on all the ideas we bring into reality with our words and actions means you have to be conscious and aware. Choices of harsh words can harm people deeply below the surface where you can’t directly see the harm. It doesn’t matter what your intent is. It matters what the actual result is. If your words hurt someone, you are responsible for that, regardless of your original intention.
Many people choose to avert responsibility for whatever reason. It is a habit
that allows the negative energy of a poor choice to stay with you for a long time. Learn to accept responsibility for all things in your life, and when it needs to be “fixed,” then start fixing. The acceptance will lead to a higher quality of life, bringing balance and happiness to your daily experience. When you accept responsibility for all things, there is no fear of what others think. You are going to be productive and feel better about yourself. Your relationships with significant others, friends, family, and co-workers will also be better. When you make a mistake or hurt someone, take responsibility, and make amends.
Make Two choices Today.
It is up to you today to look honestly at your location and accept 
that it is a reality. You live where you live. You make the amount of money you make. You have the friends you have. If any of those things aren’t where you would like them to be, then you have the power to change them. Be responsible for your choices every day and look for ways to learn from those who aren’t so good. Use them to become better the next time you have options. All of the things you choose are in your power. Things may happen out of your control, but your decisions about dealing with them are all under your control. Nobody can make them for you.
As you move through this day, please take a moment and look at the thoughts you are entertaining about your life and how it is progressing today. Are you taking responsibility for where you are? Are you blaming others or circumstances? Are you just existing without much thought about it at all? You have a conscious choice to see where you are and to accept responsibility for it. Once you do this, you can use your words and actions to make your life a more enjoyable experience. The level of enjoyment you experience is all up to you and the thoughts you choose to entertain in your conscious mind.
“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.”- Nathaniel Branden.
“Even the acceptance of personal responsibility may not overcome the temptation to believe that now is not the time to repent. ‘Now’ can seem so difficult, and ‘later’ appear so much easier. The truth is that today is always a better day to repent than any tomorrow. “-Henry B. Eyring.
“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”- George Orwell.
