Embrace the responsibilities

It’s easy to be resentful about your responsibilities and commitments, and to  see them as burdens. It’s much better to enthusiastically embrace the positive  opportunities they offer.

Fighting against yourself, and your own obligations, is never in your best  interest. Take the high road, gracefully accepting and fulfilling those  obligations.

Every area of responsibility gives you the chance to make a positive  difference in the world. Each obligation is an opportunity to add value to life.

Create that value, and put yourself at a significant advantage. Embrace the  responsibilities, and feel the power that your responsible behavior brings you.

It’s true that not everyone is willing to move life forward. Yet those who  actually do move life forward are the ones who benefit most from the resulting  progress.

Choose to get the most out of life by consistently giving your best to life.  Honor your commitments, meet your obligations, and truly enjoy the goodness that  you are helping to sustain.
