Which
do you want?
Freedom is the ability to set your
schedule, to decide on the work you do, to make decisions.
Responsibility is being held accountable
for your actions. It might involve figuring out how to get paid for your work,
owning your mistakes or having others count on you.
Freedom without responsibility is
certainly tempting, but there are few people who will give you that gig and
take care of you and take responsibility for your work as well.
Responsibility without freedom is
stressful. There are plenty of jobs in this line of work, just as there are
countless jobs where you have neither freedom nor responsibility. These are
good jobs to walk away from.
When in doubt, when you're stuck, when
you're seeking more freedom, the surest long-term route is to take more
responsibility.
Freedom and responsibility aren't given,
they're taken.
