The price of greatness is responsibility. 

People on the success curve live a life of responsibility. They take full responsibility for who they are, where they are, and everything that happens to them.

Deed not words shall speak me.

As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there”—as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering—the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.

You need to hear this loud and clear: No one is coming. It is up to you.

Life is fullest when we are most true to ourselves.

The moment you take 100 percent responsibility for everything in your life is the same moment you claim your power to change anything in your life. However, the crucial distinction is to realize that taking responsibility is not the same thing as accepting blame. while blame determines who is at fault for something, responsibility determines who is committed to improving a situation. It rarely matters who is at fault. All that matters is that you are committed to improving your situation.
