It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

You can split the word responsible as response and able. This means that are able to produce a response. Responsibility is the ability to cause a predetermined response. This means that become responsible for the result and you own the same. You have infinite ability to create any response and you have all the resources to make it happen, if you really want. If you are sincere and honest to achieve the result, you will tap into all the hidden talents and invest all your efforts and resources.
You also have the ability to duck your responsibility and find out all the reasons and excuses you have for not to cause an outcome. It all depends upon where you want to focus. If you want to focus on the various advantages you will get if make things happen, you will be excited to invest all your efforts. If you are hesitant to make things happen, you will be unconsciously focusing on the excuses against the result and accordingly you will act.
The law of nature is a simple cause and effect. You can act, or you can decide not to act. But the result is automatic. If you pick up one end of a stick, you cannot avoid the other end of the stick! You cannot have the cake and eat it too!
If you say you cannot invest time for physical exercises, you should be willing to face the consequence whether you like it or not. If you want to spend all your money on unwanted expenses, you should be ready to face the consequences. If people say that you have to change your attitude, and you don't take it seriously, then you should be willing to face the consequences also.
It is up to you!
