心灵寄语
人生有两堂必修课：承担责任和不断发挥潜能。责任我们是分内应做的事情，也就是承担应当承担的任务，完成应当完成的使命，做好应当做好的工作。责任感是衡量一个人精神素质的重要指标。而认识到潜能无限则激励我们不断接受挑战，不断攀登高峰。
In this world， we have countless people who have proven that a person can do whatever he or she strives to do.
Every person creates his or her own reality. Authorship of your life is one of your absolute right；yet so often people deny that they have the ability to script1 the life they desire. They look past the fundamental truth that it is not our external resources that determine our success or failure， but rather our own belief in ourselves and our willingness to create a life according to our highest aspirations2.
Clearly， the challenge here is to create and own your own reality. When you begin to live your life understanding that what you make of it is up to you， you are able to design it according to your authentic choices and desires. You will learn lessons here， such as responsibility and limitlessness， which will lead you to the life you were meant to live. These lessons provide you with the essential tools you need in order to take command of your life.
Responsibility Take responsibility means you admit your accountability3 and acknowledge your influence and role in the circumstances in which you find yourself. It means you are answerable for your behavior and you fully accept any consequences created by your actions.
To take responsibility will propel4 you forward and onward to your greater goal. I know of a woman named Mary whose story of personal responsibility has always inspired me. Mary was born in Cuba and moved to Miami with her family when she was two years old. They lived in terrible poverty in a dangerous part of the city， where crime and drugs were part of everyday life. Mary was determined， however， even at the young age of eight， to make something of her life other than follow the expected route of becoming a maid， or a cashier at the local supermarket. So she got herself to school each and everyday， sometimes having to step over drunks passed out5 in the doorway， just so she could get education and give herself a better life.
Mary eventually left Miami， obtained a good education， and fostered6 her natural music ability. Mary could have given in to the life she was born into， or remained mired7 in blaming her parents and culture for her circumstances. She could have refused to take responsibility for the situation. Instead， however， Mary took responsibility for herself and created a life of which she can be proud.
Responsibility is a major lesson of adulthood. If you still haven"t learned the lesson of responsibility， it"s not too late. Remember， life will provide you with plenty of opportunities to get it right.
Limitlessness Limitlessness is the sense that there are no boundaries to what you can become or do. You learn it when you know that your evolution8 is never-ending and your potential for growth reaches to infinity.
