Whatever becomes of your life is a direct function of the responsibility you have taken, which includes responsibility for your actions, your decisions, and even your inactions. As a matter of fact, everything you do today has a direct consequence on what becomes of your future. This is why, if you want to experience success tomorrow, then you have to act towards it today. Obviously, your success is almost entirely dependent on you, so make your actions to count.

I remember the story of a tech billionaire who is the owner of a very renowned technological company and social media platforms. While he was in school, it was said that his teacher once told him that he will never "amount to anything in life" because of his declining performance and other academical shortcomings he noticed about him. However, he never allowed the words of his teacher to have the final say in his life. He realized that only himself has a say about how his life will turn out to be, not his teacher. This triggered the zeal and enthusiasm within him to pursue after his dream.
He started from his dormitory room to practise his coding and created the first prototype of his social media company. From there, he grew his company and it gained acceptance. After a while of working on his company, it went mainstream. By the age of 31, he was already a dollar billionaire and among the top tech giants in the world. The awesome part of his story is that both the teacher who talked down on him and the school that asked him to leave all have accounts in his tech company and they are now honoured to be associated with him. All these were possible simply because he did not give up on his dreams and understood that his success is his responsibility.
If you are waiting for someone else's validation for you to be successful, then you will wait for so long. The hard truth is that a lot of people do not even care whether you succeed in life or not. So if you must succeed, you need to take the required responsibility. Until you are willing to pay the price and take the full responsibility for your life, then success might just be a mirage. It is worthy to note that anything of value that you desire will always have a price tag attached to it. It is when you fulfil the demands by paying the price that you will qualify to receive the prize.

In the academic world for example, if a student wants to excel in their exam and achieve success, then the student must take their studies very seriously and know that they are responsible for their success. If they study well, then their dreams of achieving success will become a reality, if not, it will become a nightmare. Anyone that wants to convince you that someone else or something else is absolutely responsible for your success, then the person is not helping you. And will eventually make you to become irresponsible. As truthful as can be, responsibility is also a sign that someone is getting mature. As children, we will want things to be done for us, but as we grow mature, we learn to do those things on our own.
The actions you put in today towards your dreams may not be convenient and it may even be difficult, but it is a vital requirement and necessity to achieve success. When a farmer is planting his seeds for example, most times, the processes may not be convenient, but for the purpose of harvesting in the future, he will undertake the actions nonetheless. If you feel that nature will just hand over success to you without doing anything, then you are thinking in error. If you want good success, then you have to take the responsibility to undertake the actions that will give you the good success.
