Here is today’s brief
“unpopular rant:” It is not the
responsibility of someone else to make my life easy for me. It is my responsibility to work hard, be
diligent, industrious, conscientious and do the best I can with the gifts I
have been given.
I’ve actually
hesitated for several days to post these thought because I figured it would
probably bother some people. And then I
thought, “How is it possible that concepts like responsibility, diligence,
industriousness and conscientiousness would be bothersome or controversial?”
You cannot read tone
of voice when it comes to written words, so, I will tell you I write these
words with the intention of being loving, kind, gracious and helpful: If we create a culture in which the majority
of people no longer believe they have some measure of personal responsibility
for their lives we are creating something dangerous and unsustainable.
Taking
responsibility for our lives is not easy, but it is good and it is right.
