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.
