It’s so much easier to just blame someone else, and even easier to think, “Someone else will do it”.

Why do we do these things? Why don’t we just take responsibility into our own hands, and have something to show for it?

Much of this can come down to trying to avoid failure: one will try to avoid responsibility to avoid the chance of an unfavourable outcome.

Yet, so much is lost, and so many opportunities shrugged off.

This is something that should be avoided in itself.

Take responsibility, and don’t be afraid to fail.

If failure, or the feeling of failure, comes from trying, it’s a lesson that’s been learned, and can help turn future responsibilities and endeavors into successes.

Another aspect of taking responsibility can be to aide in someone else’s responsibilities.

For example: if someone has a request on the internet, say via Aardvark, that you know can assist with, DO SO.

Just because someone else MAY do it, doesn’t mean that they will. You avoiding that responsibility to assist someone else may just end with that person being unassisted, because guaranteed, there’s several other people out there who are avoiding responsibility as well.

Don’t be afraid to take chances, what comes from them will most likely help you in the long run, lesson and success alike.

I know, its cliche, but too many people don’t do it, and end up dissatisfied.

To live a fulfilled life, one must make life fulfilling, and doing something you’re not passionate about is not fulfilling, no matter how much money is involved.

Too often have I met people, or known people, who follow a path due to their families pressure, or pressures of society.

It’s also amazing the amount of people going back to school. Much of this is to get ahead with their current endeavors, however, there’s still a great number who are just now realizing that they should follow their dreams.

It’s a shame when it happens late, because in a sense, much of that time before was wasted, where it could have been used to better natural abilities, and passions.

What I’m trying to say is that although what you want to do may not be as practical, money or otherwise, it’s more practical for one’s spirit and well-being.

One can be very rich, yet, not be happy. Those are the one’s who sold their dreams for what they thought would bring them happiness, but happiness is closely tied with self-worth.

Unless your passion is doing something that you don’t enjoy, a job can better be done by a person with passion for that field.

You’re selling yourself short by not taking advantage of what you love, too many lives have passed that way.

Don’t live for regrets, live for yourself and your passions.
