Howdy fams,

Happy new month everyone, I specially want to welcome everyone to this month of greatness. This month is going to be really extraordinary and joy filled in Jesus name.

Adulthood

1. The time of life when one is expected to take responsibility for one's own actions and well-being.

Young Adults

When I was a kid, I and my friends would be fantasizing and eager to become an adult. We would start saying things we would have achieved by a certain age (the least been 20 years). One of the things we envy the adult for was their freedom. They are free to do anything they wanted unlike we the little ones that are restricted by our parents, school and the society in general. In my stages of clocking 20, I can now see that that freedom comes with a lot of things; one of which is responsibility. The sole trademark of adulthood is the ability to accept responsibilities. I believe that irrespective of your age if you are not accepting your responsibilities then you are still a child. There are children of the age 17-20 that are already taking up their responsibility, I call them Young Adults. Many factors contribute to a teenager becoming a young adult. These may include; poverty, orphanage, being rejected by their family and lastly economic factors.

When you attain the age of 23 - upwards, you start thinking of becoming financially stable, when to get married and so on. It is at this stage that youth that are impatient and short sighted indulge themselves in illegal activities such as internet frauds, armed robbery, prostitution, terrorism, kidnapping and other social vices. Actually, the age between 20-24 is a planning and envisioning stage. Though it's better if one has gotten this orientation at the early stages of his life like around 18-20 years. The planning involves what you want to do with your life, how you want to go about it, when you want to achieve it and who you want to achieve it with. Remember, he who fails to plan has already plan to fail. Having a vision is one of the best innovation a man can have. When you have a vision about what you want to become or achieve, it becomes even more easier to find your purpose and run with that purpose.

People usually think that responsibility is been able to provide for one's family immediate needs. But in the actual fact, that is just a portion of the term responsibility! It cuts across achieving your goals, running with your visions and mission statement, have a sense of purpose in life, able to create wealth and most importantly, ability to become trusted by God. I said trusted by God not trusting God. We all at some point have trusted God for somethings. When you trust God, he will surely meet your needs and will not let you be put to Shame, but when God trusts you, you become his responsibility! Instead of co wrong your shame when you trust him, he makes you shame remover.

There are so many people out there that would have made it early in life if they have diligently taken up their responsibility, but they procrastinate, they slumber, they relax and say 'I still have time' forgetting that time belongs only to those who plan and put it to action. Some even say 'time will change my situation' whereas time doesn't change anything. Time only reveals! Time is like a bank, it gives you only want you have given it. When you procrastinate,you are storing lack, shame and poverty in time and it will give you double in due time.

Conclusion

We should take up our responsibilities. It is not gender specific. It applies to both male and female. Though it is much more imperative for the Male cos they will be the head of a family and would have to provide for their family. But this doesn't leave their female counterpart out of the equation.

Thanks for reading this article. God bless you. Happy new month once again.
