Take Responsibility

All your actions have consequences, so make sure to think before you act. Don’t de-rail your plans for a joyful life with irresponsible, impulsive behavior, like using illegal drugs, cheating on an exam, causing an accident while driving drunk, or creating an unplanned pregnancy.

Always think before you act! No matter how fun the activity might seem or how much pressure your peers might exert, ask yourself this question: “Is it worth sacrificing my entire future for?”

You will need to make many choices during your lifetime—some minor, others life-changing. Treat them all with careful consideration. Don’t allow others to steer you off course and don’t blame them when you take the wrong direction. The final decision is always yours.

Your intuition will guide you, so pay attention to your feelings and you will know when a choice is right or wrong.

Every decision you make will affect the rest of your life. Choosing the options that keep you on the right path will bring you joy!
