Power Comes with Responsibility

I have been following Once Upon a Time religiously and all I can say is that I love that movie. One thing I learn from the movie is that 'Magic always comes with a price'. This is similar to what I am about to write about.

Power = Magic
Price = Responsibility

If you look at those two quotes; 'Power comes with responsibility' and 'Magic always comes with a price', they both have similar meaning. Both have a very similar definitions and that both have a very similar message. RESPONSIBILITY.

If you look at the second quote, you will see that whenever you do something you will be accountable for it. When you decide to act, the implications you have to bear. Same goes with the first quote where power is an act and upon acting you are accountable for your actions. You are entitled to decide whether or not to act and you are entitled to act accordingly and having done that you are responsible for your actions. Similar, isn't it?

Everyone wants power. Everyone wants magic. But not everyone is willing to bear the consequences or the duties behind them. They are not willing to be accountable for their actions. We will come across these kind of people in our lives and sometimes, we are one.

The thing about power and magic is that they are everyone's desire. Everyone wants to be in power and if possible have magic. That is a fact. No one would reject being in power unless he is someone who does not give a damn about living. But, before taking in the power, ask yourself are you willing to be responsible for all actions? and are you willing to carry extra work or burdens than everyone else? If you are not, then please, your time is not now. Maybe later.

Just one simple question before accepting the power

are you willing to be responsible and be accountable for all actions and doing more work than everyone else?

However, if you have answered 'No' to the question above, you must make sure that you really are unable to do it. If you are scared, there is in fact a reason for you to just try it out because you will never know your capability is because being scared and not prepared are two different stories. If you are scared, break that and try it. You'll never know. Maybe you will do great at it. But, if you think you are not prepared then get yourself prepared to be someone with power and is willing to carry those responsibilities.

p/s: I have no idea what I am blabbering about.
