Todays Thought - Responsibility

Today's thought is:

Responsibility

I believe that God created people. Although we could have been made like puppets on a string, we were given the capacity to think and behave as we choose.

If what I believe is true, then each person must be responsible for his or her own thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Help me to remember that I cannot be responsible for other people's thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Help me to understand that I cannot control the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of others. Help me to understand that the most I can do to help others is to be a role model and a mirror to others so that they may choose to change.

Today, help relieve me of the belief that I should be responsible for changing someone other than myself.
