Taking responsibility has been my thing, I was born with a sense of duty, it’s strong. At times this weighs on me and when I was young I was called to task many times. Made through, learned the personal benefit of owning and seeing others move on through life with me, knowing me.
I will never forget my father taking me out one evening. We sat in a booth. He ordered the cheese plate, we shared it. He looked at me and said “you’re my responsible one”. I never forgot it. Wore it like a badge. But have come to realize I could have put it down on occasion. But still, it means much to me.
It’s so simple to own what we do. Why do we find it so difficult? You’re so right, one of our biggest mistakes.
