In life there are some responsibilities we inherited by the virtue of our positions, like the responsibility of being a good son, brother, sister, uncle, cousin, daughter, citizen and relative.
But there are some other responsibilities which we consciously assigned to ourselves through our decisions and choices in life. Such include the responsibilities that comes with you being a father, mother,husband, wife, leader, doctor, engineer, pastor, priest, business man or woman, student and an in-law, the list goes on and on.
These self assigned responsibilities are the engine of our societal development. Once they are neglected and abandoned, then the society will remain in shambles.
It is appalling that in our society today, the growing rate of fatherless and motherless children are alarming. These children are not motherless or fatherless because they don't have parents, they are because their parents have abandoned their self assigned duties as parents to pursue their own career and happiness.
Many marriages are getting divorce today because husbands and wives have abandoned their self assigned duties as couples to pursue their comfort and satisfactions.
The truth is that until we learn to accept the responsibilities that comes with our choices of career or vocations in life and fulfill them, our society will have no peace.
Until we also understand that what makes one relevant in his or her profession or vocation is not the amount of wealth they acquired, but how well they have fulfilled their duties working in such profession, we will not have a society where quality services are rendered.
Any profession or position void of fulfilling its responsibilities is out of service despite how wealthy the people involved are. Service is the responsibility in every self assigned career or vocation.
Your contributions in life lies within the responsibility of your profession. Once you abandon the responsibility, you have abandoned your significance.
Imagine how the world will look like if everyone does what they are suppose to do when and how they are supposed to do them.
Discover the responsibilities in your present position or occupation in life and channel your efforts towards fulfilling them and you will see how differently your life will be.
Happy Weekend Friends.
