Kelly Overton Instagram – Responsibility = the ability to respond.
It’s the recognition that we are the authors of our own choices, actions, and even our own suffering. To be aware of responsibility is to be aware that we are shaping our very selves through those choices. Scroll to read about the common ways we avoid responsibility but here’s what healthy responsibility looks like…choosing freely, owning our part, recognizing that even when life feels unfair, we still have power in how we respond. It’s practicing self-control, making our own choices rather than waiting for someone else to decide for us. And it’s moving from “someday” into today.
Taking one small action instead of living in endless wishing.
Responsibility doesn’t mean controlling everything or carrying what isn’t ours. It means carrying what is ours: our choices, our words, our actions, our responses, our integrity, our growth and our relationship with God. | Posted on 02/Sep/2025 20:25:37
