Responsibility is essential

Responsibility enriches life. Accept responsibility, and insist on it from others.

The constraints imposed by responsibility can indeed be burdensome. But responsibility is not a form of oppression or punishment.

Responsibility is an acknowledgement, acceptance, and embrace of the reality that every choice has consequences. Responsibility is essential to true empowerment.

It is not an act of compassion or kindness to give anyone a way to avoid responsibility. The compassionate thing is to assist and encourage others as they participate in the fulfillment of their responsibilities.

You do not benefit your own life by avoiding or escaping responsibility. For in every responsibility is the opportunity to grow stronger, more experienced, more effective and purposeful.

See responsibility for the good and essential part of life that it is. Be eager to take on meaningful responsibilities, and diligent in following through on them.
