The text explores the concept of personal responsibility, highlighting both the burdens and motivations associated with it. It discusses the stress and disadvantages that come from overcommitting, as responsibilities often accumulate, leading to built-up stress and a constant state of busyness.
The author is even blaming people for why
we have problems
Contradicting what he wrote
I would place myself at a 9
I do take responsibility
most of the time but there
are a few occasions where
I choose to be a victim
Everyone tries to be a victim
Everyone is different and can make thieir own choices
I choose to be a creator because I own up to my
mistakes and take the punishment.
If someone has responsibility they are a creator.
Agreeing with the authors
Don't blame others for your own failures
No one will save you, you have to
do it yourself
You cant expect anyone to do anything for you
Responsibilities in my life
In order to keep all the responsibilities
I have i need to not make so many commitments
Social life
Friends always want to hangout and make plans not far
enough in advance so I end up cancelling plans with them to
keep the commitments I have in the other aspects of my life
Doctors appointments
I have many health problems and keeping
my own doctors appointments are sometimes
hard and my health ends up taking a back row
seat
Being at appointments for my mom
She has breast cancer so the
appointments pile up every week
and last a decent amount of time.
Driving my brother to his sports
Year round baseball player
with practice three times a
week that he can't be late for
Volleyball Coach
Coaching an 18 year olds volleyball team
and they require your time in order for themselves
to get better
School
Im a full time student and I have a decent amount
of homework every night
Disadvantages
Letting people down (fear)
Built up stress
Many people tend to over commit and
that ends up back firing because they're not a
super human.
Always busy- No matter if you start off with
one responsibility more and more always
pile up on top of each other
Internally and Externally Motivated
The external motivation i think comes from seeing people
get punished in a variety of ways and they don't want to
see that happen to them
I think that the internal motivation
is a determination
factor you want and
need to get things
done because you know that you're
responsible for them.
Go to girl
everyone always ask me to do things because they
know it will get done
