And should a passerby catch sight of those prints, they might wonder why we were so foolish as to walk in such a way. And if at some point that passerby should happen to be us, regret will be added to the footprints which we already regret.”

You know, that cozy little place called “I don’t care” land. It’s comfy, familiar, maybe even fun… for a while. But let’s be honest, it’s a dead end. Nevertheless, maybe you like that?

Maybe being irresponsible, unreliable & thoughtless is your thing. If that’s the case, well…more power to you.. You can keep on – keep on, blaming the world for your problems. You think, life loves rewarding people who play the victim, right?

Of course not! Sweetheart, life rewards those who take responsibility. Those who show up, who follow through, who build a life they can be proud of.

Is it easy? Absolutely not. But guess what? It’s worth it. Don’t Wait for life to slap you in the face. Take responsibility for your actions, words & start building something beautiful & better..

Darling listen – the universe has a funny way of giving you exactly what you ask for. It gives us what we ask for. Just like it responded to your irresponsible thoughts & choices, trust me – it will respond tenfold to your responsible behavior.

Remember, responsibility isn’t a burden, it’s your superpower.

So ditch the excuses & step up! Your world is waiting to see that responsible YOU & guess what? You’re totally capable of it.

Stay Responsible & Blessed!”
