Responsibility Rebellion: An Unconventional Approach to Personal Empowerment

by Kain Ramsay

Life is constructed of trade-offs: everything you do in life comes at the cost of everything you don’t. You can’t put 100 percent meaningful effort, energy, or passion into everything you’d like to in life; progress and mastery require exclusion. You can’t be an Olympic athlete or a famous singer and actor who stars in Hollywood films who studied medicine and has a family who they spend all their free time with whilst also finding the time to write a bestseller, go to the gym three times a week, and travel the world on a regular basis. Granted, you can do all of these things on some level throughout your lifetime. You can play sports, go to the gym, write a book, travel the world, act in a play, and sing, but you can’t achieve all of them to the greatest standard you want all at the same time.
