The birth of responsibility starts with the present moment. It means that you recognize you truly are responsible for your situation, whether it is voluntary or involuntary, nevertheless, this is a game you desired to play. Hanging it all on a illusory past, and blaming it all on previous events, one becomes stuck, attached, and anxious, unable to move on.
The past doesn't exist, it's only a fading memory. The future doesn't exist, it's an expectation. The only real thing that is, is this moment. The creative point begins in the present moment. The past is created from the present moment. Not the other way around as we mistakenly assumed past events are responsible for the present situation. The past trails off from the present like the wake of a ship.
When this is understood, responsibility is born. When this is clear, one can be trusted to make plans for the future. Plans are only truly lived when one knows how to live in the present moment. The present moment is who you are, not the past, nor the expected future.
I had a dog that lost a leg once, he never felt sorry for himself and lived happier than anyone I've ever met.
