Today’s Quote: "The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life." - Oprah Winfrey
Today’s Question: Are you living up to your responsibilities in your life?
My Thoughts: Remember when you were a kid, and your parents gave you some chore that seemed like it would be impossible to finish by yourself? Believe it or not, that is the perfect scenario to teach a child about responsibilities, by setting them up for an early failure. But your parents didn’t want to teach you how to feel like a loser, they wanted to teach you how it felt to overcome tough obstacles and to face up to your responsibilities, regardless of what pain and sorrow you would expect it to bring. Remember how you felt when you found you were able to complete that chore with plenty of time to spare? How many new, adult sized chores and responsibilities are you shirking because you think you are being set up to fail? How did they become your responsibilities in the first place? If they aren’t really yours, let some else get them done. If they are really yours, then you get them done.
