Responsibilism
1. Finding happiness is the responsibility of the individual
2. God exists, but He will not solve your problems, but will point you in the right direction so you can solve them yourself
3. Destiny is created by the individual, the only fate is what we decide for ourselves
4. One must do everything in his or her power to find happiness, but not at the expense of others
5. Immediate satisfaction is not as important as long-term satisfaction; live hard now so you can live good later
6. In addition of reaping the benefits of the task, hard work can bring happiness just from the satisfaction of working hard and taking pride in your work and accomplishments
7. No matter what situation you are in, you have the ability to advance yourself in life
8. You are accountable for what happens in life; bad things will happen to you whether it is fair or unfair, but it is up to you to deal with it and move past it.
I thought of this philosophy because my parents have always stressed the lesson that you must do things for yourself in life, because nobody else will do anything for you. I didn't just write this up randomly for an English assignment, I believe in this philosophy.
