Take it all on.
Do you feel responsibility?
Does it weigh you down?
Do you avoid it at all costs?
Don’t, because it will save you.
Responsibility is like food; the worst it tastes, the better it is for you. As I take on more activities and commit my self to more organizations, I feel myself maturing. At first it is scary and unpleasant for someone about to leave his teens, but in the end accomplishing a task feels good, and so does taking care of yourself. I enjoy stagnating on a couch twisting blunts all day just as much as I dislike doing a problem set and going for a run, but in the end the past stays int he past and only exists in your memories. In retrospect I prefer doing my work and working out a hell of a lot more that I do numbing my brain with mindless activities.

Couldn’t agree with you more. I really like the idea of liking sitting around and chillin just as much as you dislike doing productive things, interesting way to put it.

All Conspiracy lies.
Progress itself might be a lie, but problem sets? running? These aren’t even part of progress. if they’re not enjoyed, they’re wasted time.

Do you enjoy responsibility? Does anyone? I’ll bet that you don’t enjoy it, but you have some anyway. You have some because without it you’d feel empty or without direction. There are things in life that worthwhile that aren’t enjoyable. How about giving birth, or raising a kid? How about writing a lesson plan for your students? I’ll bet you enjoy the interaction with your kids better than you enjoy the preperation. But you do the un-enjoyable preperation in order to enjoy the interaction more.
