I carry responsibility with me. In the past I have often have seen it as a burden, something that I need to shed to move forward with my life. It weighed down my shoulders. My bigger self now understands that the responsibilities I feel aren’t shackles meant to be heavy. With my growth, these chains that I dragged around now feel lighter and lighter once these responsibilities are met head on with courage.

Take accountability.
Communicate.
Take action.
The buck stops with me, so I show that.
Prove it.
For as they say, no one is going to come and save me. I save myself. I do it for myself but I do it for those who rely on me. For this is what it means to be a big man at this stage of my growth.
