different people have different driving force to take on responsibilities. of course, commitment is an important factor and it affects the degree of someone being responsible or not. it is indeed very difficult to see one not bearing the same burden as you and taking things lightly but holding the same amount of responsibility in hand.
what can be done? to some, commitment is driven money. to another, commitment is driven by signing on a piece of paper.
just today i was looking at some guidelines of what a youth leader should be and it reminded me of how critical this role is. yes, the responsibility is heavy, and your peers may not take it seriously, but how far can your commitment take you? there are many things listed on the piece of paper, it may seem really difficult to uphold that resposibility but it can be done without much difficulty if we have -- PASSION.
i personally think that yes, committing yourself to a set of guidelines is good, forking out money is also good, but how far can it take us? passion is the main driving force in one's responsibility regardless of ministry or work or games or even studies. if one has the passion in the things he/she does, every effort will be put to see it come true. this is probably one of the reasons why the youth isn't growing much. we lack people that are passionate to expand the work of God, we lack people that are committed to their responsibilities not by rules and guidelines but by the passion to see growth.
it's difficult, but yea, God is the strength of my heart and i'll give my very best to pursue what i can do for God for His kingdom, for His glory with what He has blessed me with.
there are lots of text, so yea, this is a summary:
passion + action -> increase of commitment to responsibility
