Kimness is all about Responsibility.
Kim knows sixteen styles of Kung Fu and never forgets
the awesome Responsibility of having such powerful tools under Her control.
Always remember that being Responsible is not a burden... It Is Joy!
Happiness comes from completing a chore and doing it well.
When you do the things for which you are Responsible;
You are complete.
We are not better than our Responsibilities. We are our Responsibilities.
Have Humility and understand that our Responsibilities are a part of who we are.
Responsibility is like an outfit we wear.
When you put on Responsibility, your outfit is complete.
We are not separate from our Responsibilities.
When those things we are Responsible for are left undone, we are not complete.
There is Joy in a complete and Responsible Life.
Responsibilities are not a burden: Responsibility lessons your burdens.
Responsibility avoids the weight of overdue obligations.
Being Responsible and taking care of Responsibilities builds Confidence.
The Confidence in our life that we can handle anything, including our Responsibilities.
Honor and respect come to you when you are Responsible.
Peers will respect you when they see you are Responsible
and know they can count on you and your word.
Acting in a Responsible fashion brings the pride in yourself
that comes from being a trustworthy person.
A Responsible Life brings the precious gift of Trust.
The Trust others place in you will bring Joy, Happiness and Love to your Life.
Kimness is all about the Joy and Happiness that comes from being Responsible.
When your Responsibility calls… Be there on the double!
Take Responsibility for being Happy.
Be a Happy Person... ...Take that Responsibility and put it in Your Heart!

In algebra class graded tests are given back to the class.

Kim Possible © DisneyRon: "A minus! Nice Work KP!"
Kim: "eh, ya. That's because I crammed on that river boat ride down the Congo." (on the way to a mission)
Ron: "Cramming? I don't remember any cramming."
Kim: "That's because I crammed... You spent nine hours playing bingo on the communicator."

Whether we are going to school or work for a living, we all
have day to day obligations and Responsibilities.
For many, today's life is very busy and it's easy to find yourself over "schedged".
Many times Responsibilities are known of in advance
and the time needed to take care of them can be set aside.
For instance; study time for a future test.
But there are times when additional Responsibilities surprise us.
Like a critical mission to save the world.
And we will need to work them in to our schedule.

Kim knew that She had an important algebra test coming up and needed time to study.
A well rounded education is important to being a well rounded Responsible member of society.
Like learning the moves and developing the skills necessary to complete a routine in Kung Fu;
education provides the knowledge and tools needed to successfully complete the routine of life.
When the call came to go on a mission,
Kim did not use that as an excuse not to study for the upcoming test.
Instead Kim took Responsibility for her obligation to study and do well on the test.
She planned ahead and took Her book and notes to study during any
"down time" that might come up while on the mission.

While Responsibilities often need to be prioritized,
one obligation is not an excuse to ignore Responsibility for other obligations.
Accepting Responsibility for your growth is
demonstrated by carrying through with your Responsibilities.
When you act Responsibly and meet your obligations, you grow.

Move forward in your growth. Be like Kim and take Responsibility!

Kim Possible © DisneyProfessor Dementor has created a fiendishly new weapon. Contained in a softball sized globe is a chemical mist that when it gets on a person, creates a molecular bound to whom ever the person touches next . Kim gets hit with the mist and gets stuck to Her cheerleading teammate and rival Bonnie. While at Kim's house Kim studies while Bonnie talks away on the phone.

Despite the untenable situation of being stuck to Bonnie,
Kim Responsibly uses Her time to study for school.
Worldly distractions can take many forms.
Some annoying and others down right disturbing.
But if you can't do anything about them… for the time being,
keep your Responsibility and make the best of your situation and your time.

Some are blessed in that we have the innate ability to Focus on the task at hand
regardless of the distractions that are going on around us.
While many of us have to learn how to
shut out and ignore distractions while learning or working.
If distractions are keeping you from your Responsibilities,
take the Responsibility to learn how to set, and move, them aside.

There are many tools available that will help you learn how to place distractions aside.
Take the Responsibility to learn what they are and use them.
Do your best to ensure that you continue to fulfill your Responsibilities.
Time is a precious resource when used wisely.
Following Kim's example, even unusual circumstances can be used to your advantage.

Kim demonstrates that Within Responsibility; Time is Never Wasted.

Kim has made two commitments: One to visit a top secret laboratory were sensitive technology was taken. The other to baby-sit her twin brothers while "the ...rents" go on a spousal encounter.

Kim Possible © DisneyKim: "Um... Speaking of forgetting... I totally spaced on the baby-sitting."
Kim's Mom: "Kimmy, You Made a commitment."

Kim: "Two commitments actually. I'm supposed to go on a mission today."
Kim's Dad: "You'll just have to take the boys."
Kim: "Mom! Can you please tell dad, that's a bad idea!"
Kim's Mom: "Oh, Kimmy... I'm sure Jim and Tim would love to visit a top secret lab with you.."
 

Kim Possible © DisneyKim: "FINE!"

Responsibility means keeping commitments and standing by your word.
Kim painted Herself into a corner when She forgot that She was going to
baby-sit for Her parents when She setup to go on the mission.
Kim wasn't very happy about having to take Her two brothers on the mission.
But to keep her word, maintain Her Honor, and the Responsibility
for the promise to Her parents...
She made the only right choice.

With so many things going on it can happen that you overbook your "schedge".
But being Responsible means keeping your word.
Honor, integrity, Responsibility all require you to stand by your promises.

To be a good friend you have to keep your word and follow through.
Sometimes being Responsible means doing things you don't like or want to do.
Being Responsible is standing up for your character.
And doing so represents who you are to the world.

When you are Responsible you increase the value of your character.
Your Responsible character has more value than any material possessions you may have. Practically speaking when you are Responsible and people trust your character, they will trust you to handle more and more important Responsibilities.

In the business world,
that translates to a better position and better pay.
Being Responsible has many benefits,
both untangle and tangible.

Responsibility is the simplest aspect of Kimness to gain,
fore all you have to do is:
Decide to be Responsible.

Be Responsible:
The people in your life will look up to you, respect you and trust you.
What can be more Joyful than that!

Be Like Kim: Stand Up For Yourself And Your Responsibilities!
