Personal Responsibility

Personal responsibility is accepting responsibility for your own actions and the consequences that come from those actions. Having personal responsibility means that a person can maturely respond to the various challenges and circumstances of their life. When people blame others for the choices they have made, they are being victims and blaming all their problems on someone else, and they are not accepting personal responsibility. I think people are responsible for determining who they are and how their choices affect their life.

Taking care of your health and emotional well being is also part of personal responsibility. It is important to

acknowledge  that you are solely responsible for the choices in your life. Also when people recognize that they are responsible for choosing the direction in their life and that they are repsonsible for how they choose to think or feel, will help them later in their future.

 

If something bad happens that involves me I choose to whether or not to accept some responsibility by whether I had a part in what happened. If I did not have anything to do with what happened and I was just there then I think I am not responsible. I am responsible for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but not for the cause of what happened.
