Responsibility Inspires Happiness

Photo Credit: Unsplash.com Have you ever realized that the more orderly and structured a person’s day is, the happier they tend to be? As humans, changes to our daily routines can be frustrating, if not jarring for some people. With most schedules come responsibilities, such as taking out trash, mowing the lawn, walking a pet, doing hair, or one of life’s multitudinous tasks. Sometimes, especially for kids, these jobs can seem meaningless and annoying. But consider what might happen if they didn’t exist; your dog would do its business indoors, your hair would look like a tangled mess, the house would reek with garbage–the list never ends! These tasks may seem trivial, but they actually heighten self-confidence, which often helps people feel much more happy overall! So, the next time you groan at seeing “laundry” or “room cleaning” on your schedule for the day, just keep in mind that that schedule actually helps bring security, and without your responsibilities, life would be messy, cluttered, and a whole lot less joyful!
