And as long as you're aligned with that purpose, responsibility and accountability work wonders. Action not excuses! Glad you like it here, I like it here too :)

You still have a responsability to do what you were put here to do and once you figure that out…take action…not excuses.

That’s it exactly! And as long as you’re aligned with that purpose, responsibility and accountability work wonders. Action not excuses!

Want to know what responsability means? How long do you have??? LOL! sigh...relax...It's quiet time over here. You know what? You still have a responsability to do what you were put here to do and once you figure that out...take action...not excuses. I don't mind being held accountable. I might have in my youth and it depended on who was holding me to the fire, but if they are my goals and they are right for me, then accountability works for me. I believe in that part. I also strongly believe in using positive self-talk. I really like it here.

The way I see it, one does what they want. Not what they have to. There is no 'have to'. One follows responsibilities because they want to. One follows dreams because they want to.

I applaud if someone respects the responsibilities they acquired during life (like being a good parent or a good spouse), but if that means that they have to let go of their dreams... That's not good. If someone is very conscious about having let go of their dreams as a <strong>sacrifice</strong>, then in time they will blame others for it and become resentful. If it's not a conscious choice, they have a big chance of ending up numb and generally dissatisfied with life. But as you say, this excuse can also simply mean that someone is afraid. Afraid of failure, afraid of shame, afraid of the unknown. And being afraid is a form of pain as well, but an imaginary pain. Hi VM,

I would like to know your opinion on one issue. Some time ago, I wrote an article on the importance of following one's dream and being responsible by acknowledging your purpose in this world. One of the responses I got was "not everyone can let go of their responsibilities and run after dreams". Perhaps the concept of responsibility may sometimes be used to hide weakness and thus, as you said, avoid pain?
