What is "personal responsibility"? If we look at the explanatory dictionary, we will see that the word responsibility has the root “response” and is based on the need and obligation to give an account
of one’s actions, decisions, deeds, and also to be responsible for their consequences
. By the way, the question immediately arises: “to whom should I answer, who are these people?” Personal responsibility implies that it is ourselves and those to whom we promised something, made obligations, agreed.
It turns out that this is a kind of limiting mechanism that helps regulate interaction between people in society. Thanks to him, we know what we can expect from others (and they from us), we can agree on some important things. And along with restrictions in some areas, get more freedom and opportunities in others.
In addition to personal responsibility, there is also collective responsibility. Here we will touch upon it only in the context of understanding the boundaries between these two responsibilities. Because part of the problems arises from the fact that many blur the line between the collective and the personal, and then do not know where to run from such “happiness”.
Formation process
The formation of personal responsibility begins in the family, from early childhood. The more conscious and older the child is, the more actions he can do on his own, the more he is responsible for.
First, it’s asking to go to the potty on time, then getting to it yourself; finish the porridge, collect toys, get dressed, help mom/dad. All this is usually regulated by the approval or disapproval of adults. This is how we socialize, learn how to behave in order to be accepted.
Seeing the example of parents, the child learns the areas of responsibility of adults (“dad works, and mom is beautiful”), who is responsible for what in the family. And who gets what benefit and “carrots” for it. If dad is responsible for the finances, but mom is unhappy all the time, the child experiences the “if I’m like dad, they won’t love me,” and he won’t have any enthusiasm for making money for the family, he’ll try to avoid it. And yes, many will say “an irresponsible person.”
This, by the way, is one of the reasons for conflicts between people in relationships - different images of responsibility adopted from their parents’ families.
You are solely responsible for your entire life experience.
1. It is impossible to understand and control everything around you
It is impossible to know everything that is happening around you. Your body and brain are regulating themselves right now, without any input from you. There are numerous invisible signals in the atmosphere, the range of which is very wide - from radio waves to thought forms. You can't perceive all these signals. You are indeed taking part in creating your own reality right now, but it is happening unconsciously, without any awareness or control on your part. This is why you can think positively and still be in need. Your conscious mind is not the creator.
2. You don't control everything.
Obviously, if you don't know everything that's going on, you can't control it. This is just a trap of your Ego, which makes you think that the world is controlled by your orders. Since your Ego is unable to see what is happening in the world at the moment, it is not entirely wise to let it decide what is best for you. You have the right to choose, but you cannot control events. You can use your consciousness to choose what you choose to experience, but you must allow it to be decided for you whether those events will happen or not, how they will happen, and when. The key here is submission.
3. You have the ability to heal everyone you meet in life.
Whatever appears in your life (no matter how), it can be healed only because it is in the sphere of your action. The point is, if you can feel it, you can heal it. If you see a problem in someone else and it bothers you, then you can fix it (heal yourself). Or as I once said to Oprah Winfrey, “If you can notice it, you got it.” You may not have the slightest idea why this happened in your life or why the circumstances were such, but you have to accept it because you know nothing about it. The more you heal what comes your way, the purer you become and the closer you are to manifesting what you desire, as you free up energy that is now available to be used in relation to other issues.
4. You are solely responsible for your entire life experience.
Everything that happens in your life is not your fault, but you bear full (100%) responsibility for these events. The concept of personal responsibility extends much further than what you say, do, and think. It includes what others in your life say, do and think. Taking full responsibility for the events in your life means that if there is someone in your life who has a problem, then it will be your problem too. This principle is closely related to the previous principle, which states that you have the ability to heal everyone who comes your way. Therefore, you have no right to blame anyone or anything for what happens. You only can take responsibility, which means accepting what is happening, recognizing it as yours and loving it. The more you heal what comes your way, the stronger your connection to the source of life becomes.
5. Your ticket to no limits is repeating the phrase “I love you.”
The pass that takes you into the world beyond comprehension, from healing to wish fulfillment, is the simple phrase “I love you.” Repeating this phrase to God cleanses everything in you, allowing you to experience the miracle of this moment - the absence of limitations. The idea is to love everything around you. Love your excess weight, your problem child, neighbor or spouse, love them all. Love transforms energy and releases it. The phrase “I love you” serves as a magic password to the experience of God.
6. Inspiration is much more important than intention.
Intentions are toys of the mind, and inspiration is a direction from God. At some point you submit and start listening instead of asking and waiting. Intention is an attempt to manage your life based on the limited vision of your Ego. Inspiration is receiving a message from God and acting on that message. Intentions work and produce results, inspiration works and works wonders. What do you choose? Ho'oponopono Cheat Sheet I am guided in my life and in my relationships with people by the following principles.
1. The physical Universe is the embodiment of my thoughts.
2. If my thoughts are harmful, they create a harmful physical reality.
3. If my thoughts are perfect, then they create a physical reality that exudes LOVE.
4. I take full (100%) responsibility for the creation of my physical Universe.
5. I take full (100%) responsibility for transforming harmful thoughts that create harmful reality.
6. Nothing exists separately from me. Everything exists as thoughts in my mind.
Is responsibility a carrot or a stick for you?
What is your attitude to the concept of personal responsibility? Does it evoke a feeling of freedom? Or is it the feeling that you are tied hand and foot?
In addition to parental encouragement/reprimand as a guide for our actions, there is another important impetus associated with the adult's perception of personal responsibility.
It is a natural child's interest to explore everything that comes along the way. A child is not born a “blank slate.” Even if we do not consider the spiritual aspect, such as the presence of a soul, each of us from the very moment of conception is a unique combination of the genetic material of our parents and all ancestors on both lines. And from birth, a certain core of the future personality is already present.
Therefore, despite the upbringing of the family and society, everyone has characteristics and preferences that are unique to them. Our desires and goals follow from them.
.
And
personal responsibility presupposes that each of us is responsible to ourselves for ensuring that they are realized
. So that deep impulses find their expression outside. Because this is what brings a feeling of deep satisfaction, agreement with oneself and life; such responsibility is associated with pleasure, and not with a burden on the shoulders and punishment.

Why is responsibility so often not a pleasure?
For many of us, personal responsibility is perceived as something heavy; it is not for nothing that they say “the burden of responsibility.” This is like a restriction of freedom, everyone owes it - children, parents, friends, colleagues, homeland, etc. A frequent synonym is the word “need”. And responsibility is often associated with fear of punishment.
Where does all this come from?
Partially from the same childhood. Many parents find it difficult to determine the degree of responsibility for which their child is really ready. Thus, older children are often made responsible for younger brothers and sisters, although in reality they are not ready for this.
Or they require the child to independently plan homework and punish him when he cannot cope.
In addition, responsibility is usually imposed in the form of an ultimatum, like “let’s agree that you are responsible for cleaning, and I will punish you if you don’t clean up.” And they don’t even ask the child for consent, does he want to be responsible for this? And why would you want it?
Few parents know how to negotiate so that the child himself agrees to be responsible for something and this is also beneficial for him. Usually this only benefits the parents. Unfortunately, there is a lot of manipulation in the area of responsibility that continues into adulthood.
Here some people begin to avoid any responsibility, because it only causes problems and nothing good, and it is better to be “bad for everyone, but free.”
And the other part, on the contrary, is ready to be responsible for everything and everyone. Because they really want to be needed and loved, this is the only way they have felt it since childhood. There are many such examples: responsible employees who do everything for others; people who drag not only their family, but also a couple of families of friends and relatives - “well, I’m responsible for them.” They are very fond of being burdened with additional responsibility by those who cannot cope with theirs)
I think everyone has examples of both in their lives. Or maybe it's you?
