When I say responsibility, everyone’s thoughts wander only towards one direction, that is responsibility towards parents, responsibility as a parent, responsibility of buying a house, responsibility of paying bills. Responsibility of fulfilling materialistic things.
But that is not the only responsibility.
The most important responsibility is towards oneself. You should be responsible for what is going inside your body, inside your mind first. All the materialistic things come later. Even if you don’t think about those things, they will be taken care of.
Are you carrying out the responsibility of, just being you?
Are you taking the responsibility of taking care of the chatter that is going on in your mind endlessly?
If you really want to show your responsibility as a parent, go and spend time with one of your grown-up children who is 14-18 years old. Instead, you go on trying to dominate them.
If you are really taking care of your wife, go and sit with her few moments to ask her what is going on in her life. But you just sit and eat what she has prepared for you.
If you really love your husband, go and ask him what is troubling him because of which he seems to be silently moving on every day. Instead you ask him the accounts of the money that he spent.
Do you really care for your parents, go and spend some time with them?
Leave every one for a moment. Have you sat with yourself alone?
Thinking about what I can do to make my present moment happy and content.
- Start taking care of all these things, you will find more joy in your life.
