It’s Not Your Fault, But It’s Your Responsibility.

Sometimes, it’s no one’s fault.

But that doesn’t matter.

Sometimes, one thing just leads to another in a series of unfortunate events. Sometimes, no one sees it coming.

The thing about responsibility is, it does not always follow the usual chain of fault.This is because regardless of who or what is truly at fault, like dirty jobs, “someone’s gotta do it.” Someone’s gotta fix it.

Fault is obvious, but accountability runs deep and falls on many hands.

Unfortunately, too few of us are willing to accept and admit that among those hands are ours as well.

And the sooner we take on responsibility, the sooner we can begin moving forward.
