Responsibility
I’m not saying that the unsuccessful behaviors or unsuccessful choices you’ve made in your life make you blameworthy. I’m just challenging you to recognize that you did make the choices and you did engage in the behaviors, and that therefore you and only you are responsible for the results. Recall Maya Angelou’s comment on past behaviors: “You did what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better.”
— Phil McGraw, Life Strategies
