Be Responsible:“the Have-to’s” And “the Want-to’s” by BISolutionsng: 6:15pm On May 20, 2018

I was chatting with a friend and she was talking to me about how the
house would be so dirty sometimes and she wouldn’t just feel like
cleaning.  She would instead 'want to' sleep or watch TV, but
unfortunately, it’s something that she 'has to' do.As human beings, most
times we don’t want to be stressed, we all just want to sleep, have fun, relax,
play, hang out, party etc. These are things we 'want to do' and there are so
many things we wouldn’t feel like doing, especially when it comes to hard work,
setting goals, following through, making sacrifices etc. but unfortunately these are
things that we 'have to do' to remain relevant and be successful.Relating this to careers, goals or even aspirations in life, we just
find out that most times we prefer to remain where we are. Quite a lot
of people find it difficult getting out of the status quo. Many times
you discover a lot of people are limited because they are not
intrinsically motivated, most people want to be motivated or pushed by
other people before they can take the next big step in their lives which
would take them to the next level.

What amazes me most times in issues like this is that my friend actually
knows that the right thing to do is to clean the house, like I know that
the right thing to do is to register for that certification or do that
MBA because that new credential is what can get you out of the
limitation you find yourself in and take you to the next level. It’s
just something that 'you have to do' which might require you to reduce
your sleep in order to read or cut down on a holiday splurge to pay for
an exam that will take you to the next level. Most times we need to note that
the 'HAVE TO' are the activities that lead towards success and it is essential that
we are able to differentiate between the two to determine the actions to take, not
only in our careers but in every aspect of our lives.
Be responsible- Remember someone might be watching
Being responsible is a topic I like to talk about all the time because
as unbelievable as it may sound, just being responsible can take you to
places that you can never imagine you can get to.

Responsibility is a skill, you learn it. Someone said the decision to be
lazy or get up early everyday is taken by you. It all boils down to your
own conscious decision, choosing your own actions and words.
Responsibility reflects in the decisions we take in our everyday lives
from when you wake up in the morning to take a bath, going to work, how
we work and relate with our colleagues, bosses and subordinates, getting
early to work, following your schedules, meeting your timelines,
ensuring savings, pursuing career and personal development etc. This
list can go on and on. Being able to show responsibility in every little
thing produces good results. A colleague of mine was sharing with me on
how he found in the dustbin an envelope of money in the US dollar
currency and he returned it to his boss. He said to me that his boss was
surprised the he found and returned the money. Since then, he keeps
recommending him for amazing opportunities that he is not sure he even
deserves. It pays to be responsible.

I have put down a few tips on how
we can improve ourselves in being responsible. Click the link below to see them
