Outsourcing Worries

I wonder how many worries that I can outsource? Keeping house clean – that is easy, hire a house cleaning service. Keeping lawn groomed – easy, hire a landscaper. That is if he shows up each week. Worried about taxes? Hire a accountant. Worried about paying all the bills on time, hire a bookeeper. Worried about personal fitness, hire a trainer. Diet, hire a nutritionist. Salvation, go to a church and pay them handsomely. Ok, that may not be the right idea. You cannot buy salvation and all of that, but hey you can certainly find solace in some organized establishment. Worried about your golf game, hire a PGA professional. The list goes on and on. We can outsource almost every worry to a specialist.

But then we will still stew on something and be worried about something. That is because you cannot outsource personal responsibility at all. Nope.
