Responsible

What does it mean to be responsible? You have the ability to control your choices and personal space. Do you pick up a piece of trash on the sidewalk?  Open the door for another?  Let someone cut in line at the supermarket?  Leave a note if bruising a car in a parking lot?  Respect signage?  Smile as you pass everyone.

It's the little things extended toward others that return to enrich our lives.

Think of what the word means to you.  Start by defining each letter.  Do a couple of run throughts to generate additional ideas.

R    Respect for oneself starts the show
E    Extends to earning respect from others
S     Sense  -  as in common sense
P     Positive vibes
O    Offer your special gifts to others
N    Never give up. Keep at all aspects of life.
S     Say Yes!
I      is best kept in lower case and not the focus of attention.
B     Be aware in the moment
L     Live, Learn, Love
E     Energize others

Write your sense of responsible in a personal essay.
