Dare yourself to be responsible and you`ll feel proud that you`ve accomplished the challenge. Added bonus: Everyone else has stopped nagging. What a relief! What you have to do and what you want to do are two entirely different things, but striking a balance between the two is rewarding hard work. Imagining the reward you will earn for all this is your carrot on the stick. A bit of recognition will come to you also, but don`t expect an immediate return.
