Responsibility is our ability to respond to a situation or circumstance; positively or negatively. You can’t control what happens in life, but you can choose how you respond to it.

When we’re mindful, we learn to build up the mental muscles to give ourselves time and space to respond. We observe the situation. We accept it for what it is. We don’t take the situation personally. Instead, we see it from the perspective of those around us, allowing us to let go more easily and enjoy more of the moment.

When did you last respond to a situation in a way that you weren’t happy with?
