Responsibility

Here we go again...I like making this blog as spontaneous as possible so I'm just gonna say whats on my mind, just watched 8 Simple Rules and Everybody Hates Chris which made me think about an important...how can I say this?...factor of our lives of which we take up for the sake of others or events...Responsibility.

If you go through life without ever having a responsibility, first of well done but secondly, you really didn't live did you? (This last comment is obviously directed at nobody on Earth, if you do feel that is you then please by all means go out there and be responsible for something or someone) Your first and probably most important responsibility is for yourself, the life God has blessed you with, the life you started all those many (or few) years ago. The reason for taking responsibility of your own life is the very reason why you don't want to be controlled, and that reason is it is your life, neglect responsibility of yourself and trust me you will have no control. So what does this entail? I cant answer all the questions in this world however I have learned from my own experiences as well as others. And my main answer to this is DONT BE STUPID! I know that's a little short and could be almost seen as offensive but trust me it's not meant to be, we go through life making terrible decisions, doing things that we wish we never. Truth is we cant help any of that, let it go as the past is the past and the only thing we can do with the past is learn from it. Make a decision in your mind that in the future don't do STUPID things, and those Stupid things in the past become SILLY things with understanding. Now to those of you out there who asking themselves "what on God's wonderfully shaped and nicely balanced (perfect gravity) Earth is he talking about" this is what I mean:

You know when you call someone stupid it can in most cases be meant to be offensive "your so stupid man, why did you do that?" etc. The word Silly however is something that is different, you say it when someone is being a joker, when someones acting in such a way that you know is Stupid but meant to be used in a kinder fashion i.e. to make you smile. (Yes I know Silly can be used as an offensive word too but seriously if you think about it you can see the difference) So you see the words both have very similar meanings but can be used in two completely different contexts.

Stupid decisions: things you know can be harmful to you, or those you care about etc. You will regret these decisions as they will most probably effect you for a very long time, you know the ones that I'm talking about so don't go pretending otherwise. Remember that these decisions are not just ones that are instant, taking up smoking for example is one of these decisions (yes I really don't thing smoking is the wisest decision and yes I don't smoke so YES i don't know what it's like but really...when you know the end result isn't that motivation enough to stop). So think about it before and really analyse and evaluate whether you can handle the responsibility of hurting someone or yourself (Oh and if your saying "it's my life and so those decisions that only effect me is fine" YOUR WRONG! YOU ARE NOT AN ISLAND! you do effect people around you whether you feel it or not so wise up.

Silly decisions: These decisions also effect your life (All Decisions Effect Your Life!) but those silly decisions are normally the ones that have to be done, the lesser of two evils, the decisions that led to friendships or relationships being broken, the ones you may regret but understand. These are the decisions of which you have assumed responsibility for and know full well that you made it with great thought and contemplation...THESE ARE THE KIND OF DECISIONS YOU MUST DO ALONG WITH THE PROCESS!

In a sense your Stupid mistakes are those made in the past, understanding it and learning from it results in seeing them as Silly Mistakes, ones which you can forgive yourself for making as you fully understand why; at that time in your life, you made them. You cant take back the Stupid mistakes but you can make them into Silly ones.

Take Responsibility, trust me it's worth it. Never regret what you've done, just make sure you understand why you did it....and if it was a bad decision, know that if you understand it was bad, no one should ever hold it against you.

OH...and make sure you don't do it again

God Bless
