Theme: Career Responsibility

Personal Career Responsibility – What it is, and What it is Not.

What it’s not is actually a good place to start.

Having personal responsibility is the polar opposite of blame.  It means not making excuses, citing other people or attributing circumstances to external events, unfairness or dearth of luck. 

Personal responsibility means accepting that you, and only you, are in charge of your own destiny.  It means acknowledging and accepting that you are responsible for the choices you make, the way you behave, the actions you take and the way you think and feel.

Personal responsibility means being accountable for what you think, say, and do.

Personal responsibility is rooted in the knowledge that every act, thought or feeling results from choice - not coercion. Only you can choose how you respond.  Personal responsibility is an attitude, a philosophy, a way of being.

So Personal Career Responsibility means accepting that what you’ve done, where you are now and where you want to get to, is entirely down to you
