We are responsible for our life. It is in our word and action that our responsibility is expressed. What we say, our word, is important, it has an impact. But unless our behavior or action matches up with our word, there is no being authentic or integrity in our life. Being responsible is carrying out our word, doing what we say we would do. We have to be very present to what we say we will do or promise, present that when we say something that we will do for someone that we will actually do it, not just say so and not fulfill on our promise. How we show up in life to others will be determined by how responsible we appear to them, how much we honor our word. We are our word, and actions, to others in life.
