Responsibility

The most difficult thing to remember can be that most things aren't personal.

As much as I might like to believe that the universe revolves around me -- it doesn't.

I am important -- to me, to those who love me, and to the many people who may benefit from something I do, or don't do, that I may not even know about.

But beyond that, those little annoyances that occur at work, or on the road, or in the park, or just in my own house really have very little to do with me.

That being said, how I react to these things can make a huge difference in my life, or the lives of others.

It may not seem fair, or even be fair, but responsibility goes way beyond necessity.
