Personal Responsibility

I'm certainly feeling the pressure and stress and whatever - but I just have to make sure I give it my all.

I've stopped pointing fingers long ago and I'm taking responsibility for my failures (and my successes).  And things have been turning out for the better ever since I did.

People choose to do what they do and I respect that.  They have a lot going on and so do I.  That's life.

So, when some people start blaming others instead of taking responsibility, I'll listen but I won't call them out on it nor would I be able to truthfully agree.  It is not my place to tell them how to behave - I'd look like an ass.  Nonetheless, it's just not a right way to think.  One gives up control of one's own life by blaming others.

However, if it was my son or daughter, then I'd have to smack some sense into him/her Balboa-style.
