take responsibility

taking responsibility is hard, but not as hard as not taking responsibility. trust me, the amount of stress we create for ourselves by avoiding responsibility and not tackling the things that need to be done is far worse in the long run. Take responsibility quickly, be honest with the people around you and be willing to do whatever you need to to follow through. people will respect you for it.

Taking responsibility for yourself is the only path to true happiness. People who are perpetual victims never seem to be happy, they just seem to be looking for the next person or circumstrance on which to blame their unhappiness.

That being said, taking responsibility for others who need help is a laudable goal as well. The two, in my opinion, go hand in hand.
