Are you a person that accepts responsibility?

There are many different ways in which we can accept responsibility. Whether we are parents-taking care of our children. Taking responsibility for the consequences of the bad decisions we may have made. And there are many other ways as well. I try to do my best in accepting and taking care of the responsibilities that I have in my life. For me it's not always easy but I try and do my best.

I would consider myself responsible but there was a time when I was just so laid back that I almost forgot about my responsiblities. I know when I have to do something when it becomes heavy inside and I feel like I should be doing something, I'm sure everyone else know this. It's something we call guilt. When this kicks in, I start thinking, speculating, moving, taking care of whatever I need to do.

Yep. Most of the time, the things we need to do are all laid in front of us. All we need to do is realize that they're there. Otherwise, we'll end up procrastinating.

Yeah guilt can really get us moving. There are a lot of things that we have to do and get done. And at times it can be overwhelming. But it needs to be done and I don't like others to do things that I'm suppose to be doing so I try and make sure to accomplish and do what needs to be done. Thanks so much for sharing.

It's not easy to accept a responsibility. You have to have the capacity to do whatever that responsibility would be. But the responsibility of being a mother to your children is something that is innate to parents. They have to accept it, whether they like it or nor. They after all, learn as they do it.

I agree with you. Yeah with the responsibility of being a parent it is best to take on this responsibility. To do the best that we are capable of and continue to learn on the way like you mentioned. We can find so much joy in being a parent.

A pleasant day to you Dominique25, With regards to your main topic discussion, I do accepts responsibility and I am also proud to say that I am doing my responsibility up to the last drop. I remember when I was still working on my last employer - my two bosses are really saying that they are proud to me - since everytime they are giving me a task, it is always well done. Nevertheless, I gave the glory to God.

I'm glad to hear that you take care of your responsibilities. It is very important that we do this. We are able to be proud of ourselves for all that we have done and others respect us for our maturity. It's a win win situation all the way around.

hey, talking responsibility will propel you to what is ahead.My dad used to tell me that in order to succeed in life,you need to be punctual,discipline and responsible (PDR).PDR has been my motto and i have embraced it to make a difference in life.

I agree with you. When we accept responsibility and move towards the goals we want it really does help. We feel mature and ready to take on whatever comes our way. Your dad has taught you very valuable things. I agree it is definitely a good idea to be PDR. I like to be respectful towards others and so I agree that being punctual is a good thing. I'm still always finding myself running late when my husband goes places with me because he isn't often punctual.

As for me I love taking responsibilities. It challenges me and I do believe it is an opportunity to learn. During my younger years, I shy away from responsibilities, but as you get to mature you will see the benefits of having responsibilities. It boosts your confidence and it makes me feel like a real man when I take over a responsibility. Of course, the more responsibility you have the more problems and struggles you have to face. But you should always try to see them in a different light. Responsibilities are good because it makes you act and live life to your potential.

I'm glad that you love responsibilities. In some ways I do and in others I don't. It really does give us an opportunity to learn and grow. Having responsibilities can make a person mature faster than what they were expecting. It's nice to have a reasonable amount of responsibility but we don't want to take on more than what we can handle.

When I became an adult and lived by myself I cannot totally say that I am the most responsible person in the world. I learned to be responsible for every actions I do. It helps to be alone sometimes. I learned how to keep truly to my words. And now that I will become a first time mom, I will be facing a lifelong responsibility and I will give my best to be the best wife and mother to my child.

For me must responsible to take care of your child because the parents is finish the course if you are old but for your kids is all the risk by you.

Yes as parents it is such a big responsibility to take care of our children. When our parents age we may even have the responsibility of caring for our parents. This all requires self sacrifice in being a care giver.

I do take responsibilities for my own actions, and I take the responsibilites in my life very seriously. I am a home owner and maintaining the house is difficult at times but it has to be done. I am mother who has to feed and clothe my child, along with giving her experiences that prepare her for school. I am a pet owner who has to walk and feed her dog. It is a lot at times, especially when you add the responsibilities of work during the school year.

Yes you have a lot on your plate. I completely agree doing all those things does take a lot of time and attention. That's why currently we don't have a dog. Because I don't have the time to do all that is required to care for one properly. I hope though that in the near future we will be able to get one. They are wonderful animals.

Each and everyone of us has a responsibility in life. It is the responsibility that makes us grow maturely as a person. It widens our knowledge, in the search of other ways of making such responsibility easy. But since birth, we already have a responsibility in us, to take care of our body, because it's just a borrowed one from God.

I agree with you. When we have responsibilities and we take care of them like we should then we do grow and mature as a person. We are better prepared to take on different responsibilities in the future as well. Yes we definitely need to take care of our bodies and our health. This will help us to take care of our other responsibilities. As when we feel good we are better in a position to take care of other necessary responsibilities.

hello, You know what? I am really afraid in taking a responsibility because I dont like to fail because I might be pity to myself. Well, that is true because everything that I make are all just my own decision and I never tell to anybody at all because I know they will tell something bad about it. Tired of it! So, if I dont have a choice to take a responsibility I will do it. okay with all my best..
• United States

Yeah failing isn't an easy thing for us to deal with. We will all make some mistakes or not succeed in some area of our goals or life. When we do we have to get up and move on, perhaps adjusting our goals in some way. Hope that you are doing well with all of your responsibilities.

I am a responsible person. My parents raised me not be irresponsible. I have so many decisions in life that resulted to "not-so-good" consequences, but I still managed to do my best and be responsible for the actions I have made. I am committed to my responsibilities and I make sure that I do every way I can to perform these responsibilities.

I'm glad that you had good parents who raised you to responsible for yourself and your actions. There are a lot of people who aren't responsible for the things that they do because they weren't raised to learn how to take care of themselves. A lot of the time things are just given to children and they don't learn responsibility.

I agree it can be hard to take responsibility. I try to make good decisions so that I don't have to take responsibility for bad ones.:) I'm imperfect and so in the past and in the future I'm sure i will make some bad ones. I however try to learn from the bad ones that I've made. Thanks for sharing.

yes, accepting responsibility is not easy as turning the palm of the hand, but also not as difficult as making sophisticated rockets. I also accept a responsibility to my parents, as a student, i have to finish what was started, that is my college. I agree that Trying to do our best accompanied by prayer, will produce maximum results for taking responsibilities..

I'm glad that you accept the responsibilities that you have toward your parents. Most parents give their children responsibilities to help them grow and mature. To help their children be prepared for a life living on their own. I hope that your college experience is going well and that you are reaching the goals you have set for yourself.
