What Responsibility Will You Handle Yourself This Week?
What you just watched:
John Buford helped lead the Union Army at Gettysburg through preparation, focus, and steady leadership.
He didn’t wait for better conditions—he used what he had.
His story shows that self-reliance begins with action, not excuses.
THINK
Ask yourself these 3 questions.
- What excuse have I been using instead of starting with what I already have?
(More time? More confidence? Better conditions?) - When things become difficult, do I stay focused—or complain about what I lack?
- If someone depended on me this week, would they describe me as dependable?
DISCUSS
Does having fewer advantages sometimes make people stronger or lazy?
ACT
- Finish what you started.
- Solve before asking.
- Carry your own load
