Taking the right responsibility for your actions

We humans do really make mistakes, whether right and wrong. When we do actually make them, we need to ensure that we take full responsibility for our actions and also their consequences.

It is in accepting our responsibility to learn and grow from these mistakes that we will grow in strength and trust our abilities. When we accept responsibility for our own actions, we empower ourselves to make choices that are best for us and for others.

We can decide to accept responsibility for our own mistakes and move on. Or we can continue to replay the same mistakes over again in an attempt to correct those mistakes. Those who have learned to accept their mistakes and forgive themselves for them to move forward. Those who stubbornly insist on holding onto their mistakes and refuse to forgive themselves or others have failed in their attempts to learn, grow, and trust themselves.

When we accept responsibility for our own actions, we remove the ability to blame others or anyone else for our own actions. We no longer can use our excuse of "I didn't know" to escape blame or accountability. We no longer can use other people's imperfections to escape accountability for our own actions. We also no longer can use God or another higher power to escape from living with consequences. Instead, we can come to understand that we all have free will and are accountable to ourselves only.
