5 Reasons Why Responsibility is the Key to Personal Freedom

Responsibility is power.

Responsibility empowers you. Don’t you agree?

When you decide to take charge of your life, your choices, it means you’re taking responsibility for your future, and the consequences also.

Is it fair to dump it at their feet when you’re the one responsible for all the decisions that led to this outcome?

It’s a pessimistic, and by extension a defeatist, attitude. This can thwart any hopes of making positive changes or moving on. It can impact personal growth or even hinder your seeking any kind of fulfilment.
