My thought for today is Responsibility. The willingness to carry out a task that someone has entrusted to me. Responsibility, for me, is showing up with integrity, even when the outcome is not mine to decide or control. I try to carry out my responsibility like a custodian - steady, sober, and without ego. In service, as in my personal life, I try to be responsible for my actions, my choices, my spiritual condition and for my side of the street. I am not responsible for other people's feelings (I can be kind but I can't manage their emotions), their choices (I can guide but I cannot decide for them), their reactions (their approval or their disappointment is theirs not mine), their sobriety (I can share my experience strength and hope with them but I cannot get or keep them sober), their outcomes (I can do the footwork but the outcome is up to God), or for their spiritual path (I can walk with them but not for them).
