Is It Okay To Shy Away From One’s Own Responsibility?

I often wonder why, should one shy away from doing something that they are meant to do or have to do.. there might be reasons for why one may shy way?

This could also include the point of being bullied or told that he/ she is incapable and therefore cannot fit into the space of taking on a particular responsibility.

At the same time, It’s not about saying I can’t do it…
I won’t do it…
No one trusts me..
I don’t want to be put on a spot..
I better be careful before I have fingers pointing at me.

Sometimes we are put into situations and circumstances wherein we have no options or choices left for us. We may get caught in a web of chaotic events and there is no way one can try to slip out of such situations.

So what should we do?

Are we supposed to act like we are suppressed or made to believe that we can not express our thoughts or feelings?

Or

Can we put our foot down and say no?

Well, is it okay to say no…?

Yes, if one chooses to say No, they are free to express their opinion and move away. But at the same time you need to understand and be respectful of the fact that the reason for the “NO” should be justifiable not to others but to yourself.

Trying to be a people’s pleaser can also get you into a space of confusion and frustration. So when you feel you don’t want own up to your responsibilities and try to palm it off. Looking for a valid or good reason to do so.

Life has ways to bring back the same issues up until you are ready to see it and also work towards either accepting it or having to validate your reasons. When you understand that life is like a mirror, you would also know what you see is what you choose to see or experience.

So instead of saying

Why me?

Why not someone else?

I am always given the tough tasks?

No one takes the responsibility it’s always on my shoulders..!

Take a moment or step out of your comfort zone and sit to analyze your situation as well as your surroundings.

Has someone put their responsibilities on you?

Have you taken it up?

Are you the kind who likes to control everything?

Do you find it difficult to delegate your responsibilities to others?

Or

Are you the one trying to run away from the truth of taking responsibilities?

You are scared to take responsibilities?

Are you unsure of the repercussions if you take on certain responsibilities!

Well no matter which side of this topic you’re on. You need to know that taking on certain responsibilities goes without say. You can’t just try to pass it off like giving a baton in a race. It not about saying it’s not for me not saying I have done enough.

Responsibility brings with it the beautiful lessons which helps one to get sculpted into a stronger and a more beautiful soul. It can also help work on making one be more creative as well as independent. Being the one who is not only anchoring for the loved ones or others, be the one to also delegate the responsibility and make sure others also learn to respect and take part.

One needs to know, you cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

Responsibility is the key to personal growth and self success.

By taking responsibility for yourself, you can stop relying on others.

It’s good to accept responsibility, be accountable and have ownership of your mistakes.

Mistakes help one learn and brings us out to be stronger and wiser. So go ahead take your responsibilities without any fear.
