Take Responsibility for Your Life
Stop the excuses and make your life the best life possible
You are responsible for your emotional, spiritual, and mental health as well as your economic livelihood.
Not the government.
Not your parents (if you’re an adult).
Not your church, synagogue, mosque, or religious community.
Not your friends.
Not even your spouse (though that person is certainly deeply influential in your life).
You can’t outsource personal responsibility.
You must EMBRACE personal responsibility.
And if you struggle to embrace personal responsibility and/or find yourself incapable of adequately addressing your emotional, spiritual, and mental health on your own, then you are responsible for seeking out and receiving the help that you need.
Let me quickly say that full grace and understanding should be extended to those who are mentally (or perhaps even physical) incapable of providing for themselves or their loved ones. I have a special needs sister. She needs lots of help and care. I have nothing but love, compassion, grace, and understanding for those who are truly unable to help themselves.
