10 Achievable Steps on how to be Responsible for your Life

   The world has gone beyond you staying idle and doing nothing to effect change in your world and environment. No man is responsible until he bears the pain of another on his shoulder and find a good place for it to land. You have to start making vital decision
and never for once should you leave yourself with no choice. You are not much, but you are all that you have. Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands. People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... don't thirst for that kind of responsibility.What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.

How to take responsibility for your Life.

• When you agree to do something, do it. If you let people down, they'll stop believing you. When you follow through on your commitments, people take you seriously.

• Answer for your own actions. Don't make excuses or blame others for what you do. When you take responsibility for your actions you are saying "I am the one who's in charge of my life."

• Take care of your own matters. Don't rely on adults to remind you when you're supposed to be somewhere or what you're supposed to bring. You take the responsibility.

• Be trustworthy. If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, take care of it. If somebody tells you something in confidence, keep it to yourself. It's important for people to know they can count on you.

• Always use your head. Think things through and use good judgment. When you use your head you make better choices. That shows your parents they can trust you.

• Don't put things off. When you have a job to do, do it. Doing things on time helps you take control of your life and shows that you can manage your own affairs.

• Build your Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life — is the source from which self-respect springs.

• Decision making, the right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.

• In dreams begin responsibilities and work on you attitude

• Never stop learning. Rome was not built in a day, so also will you not attain being responsible in a day.

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility. Take charge and be responsible for your life.
