you are responsible for your own life

[alwaysinstyle]

One of the biggest problems in society today is that people don"t want to take responsibiity for their lives.They want quick fixes.
society has trained them to believe that if they have problems,somebody else is responsible.Their parents.
Their spouses.The company that made the cigarettes or vehicleor junk food is responsible.
When we have a moment of privacy,we should take a breath,clear your head and just to repeat:
"i am responsible for my own life.If iam unhappy or unhealthy,i know i have the power to change that".
Just start becoming the person of excellence we have always known we could be.

agree or disagree??? :-

I 100% agree with you. Great statement by the way. I dont know if you have seen that television commerical where that lady has a hole in her throat, but she is talking about how she is addicted to cigarettes and its the tobacco companies fault for her addiction and the hole in her throat from smoking cigarettes. That is 100 percent bulls**t. Its her damn fault that she got addicted. Anyone with common sense knows that inhaling smoke is bad for you. Anyways if you dont like what is happening in your life change it. Only you yourself can make that change. No one else can do that for you. You cant change what has happened in the past, all you can do is learn from it but you can change your future.

I do agree with the statement, but hold on sir. It may be there fault for trying cigarettes, but addiction is powerful. It is hard to overcome, and since nicotine is in cigarettes, it is hard for the person to quit.

The company is out to make money, since it is a private company nothing can be done.

People who quit smoking can have relapse, due to the body being dependent on that nicotine. So don't call someone stupid because it's their fault for being addicts.

Don't discourage people.

I have smoked cigarettes before. I also quit cold turkey many years ago. Its mind over matter. I never called anyone stupid either.

I feel like every generation is becoming less and less self-sufficient and they don't actually want to be an adult and be responsible for anything. They rely on their parents who baby them and they rely on society as a whole to take care of their problems, but they never do anything about it. As for the smoking thing, I'm a smoker and it's my own damn fault. I know the risks, I know what's in them and I continue to smoke. There's enough information out there that ANYONE smoking, even young kids understand that cigarettes can kill them and/or cause other harmful, unpleasant effects. So the cigarette companies make cigarettes addictive, you can't blame them for trying to make money. You're trying to make money on this website aren't you? No one is forcing anyone to smoke cigarettes or become addicted and even when you are addicted, you can stop. It takes time, but you can. People can overcome drug addictions and alcohol addictions and no one ever says "That bar is at fault for so-and-so's alcoholism" or anything like that, so why is it the cigarette companies fault that people become addicted to cigarettes.

try paying rent by yourself with a medical condition and then get unemployed. you'll get an education there on survival.

As far as society being lazy, I blame partly on the parents & partly on technology that allows us to sit on our butt all day and do nothing. Parents need to stop babying their kids & show them some tough love. Stop rescuing them & let them live w/consequences for their actions.

i agree again!

[madeara]

I completely agree.  So many children today think of themselves as being entitled.  Why parents enable children by handing them everything they want, I have no idea.

That's true in some sense but we are also our brother's keeper. We should lend a hand when it's needed and not just turn away when someone is in trouble We need to have a heart!
