Personal Responsibility

We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice - - that is, until we stop saying “It got lost,” and say “I lost it.”
…….Sydney J. Harris

I came across the above quote today, and I immediately thought of all the blaming going on about everything, it seems. When something goes wrong, the first thing many people think is, “Who is to blame?” A phrase I’ve heard used by educators is “boss your brain”. In other words, instead of being a victim of distractions and circumstances, be the one in charge of yourself. Take personal responsibility for your actions and words.
