How are you responsible for your life?

U know the saying,”life is what you make it”. How are you responsible for the way your life turns out? People who are in your life can change the way you are, therefore changing your decisions. Also people like your parents decide for u. And its not like you asked to be born in the first place. So how is that saying true? Is life really what you make it or should the saying change to “life is what makes u”? I know life is all about struggle, but what does that saying really mean?? And again, how are you responsible for your life?

I dont care for any answers anymore

Answer #2

because its the choices you make that makes you responsible for your life…think about it like this…you can be anything you want in life people can try to change you and your decisions but at the end of the day its still your choice about what you want to do theirfore that would make you responsible for your life because your making the choices.you said that sometimes your parnets decide for you but at the end of the day itsz still your choice to go through with it or not.your parnets can demand the world but its your chioce to give it to them,but I also think the saying can go both ways…in a way life does make you it can shape up the type of person youll be..but itsz still your choice to say if your willing to be that type of person that it wants you to be.

Answer #3

I was raised by loving parents who were good enough to pay for my schooling (including college)…yet…I ended up living on the streets a hopeless alcoholic and drug addict…my choice.

I later chose to walk away from that life, get a job, get married…and I’m still here 23 years later. My choices…

I can be influenced…I can be directed…but when it all comes down to it…the choices are mine and mine alone.

Answer #4

Your friends, your family, and everyone else in your life, they all have an impact in your life. But when it comes down to it, you are the one who makes your choices. You don’t have to do something just because someone told you to.

I’m not too sure, but I think this is just another way of saying “carpe diem.” Your life could be sitting in your mom’s basement watching Seinfeld reruns, or you could be out in the real world doing what you want to do. The only person standing between you and what you want to be, is you.
