The Meaning of Personal Responsibility Have you ever known someone who constantly blames someone else for their own mistakes? No matter what, they will not take responsibility for their own actions. There are some people in this world that lack personal responsibility. While it is easy to blame, justify, and depend on others for your personal needs, I believe Personal Responsibility means being accountable for your own actions. It is self-awareness of your own life success. You are the one in control of yourself, no one else. Personal responsibility means being accountable for your own actions. People who are not personally responsible people tend to blame others for their own mistakes. Let us be real for a moment, we all have blamed others for something we have done wrong. That doesn’t make us not a personally responsible person. It means we are human. I am talking about the person who blames other people or makes excuses all the time. For example let’s take academics for instants. A student can blame the teacher or instructor for failing on an exam. However, a student who has personal responsibility will not blame the teacher but will look closely at why the failure happened. Did the student understand something incorrectly? Did the student not study the material enough? Another example, is a person without personal responsibility are influenced by others. Such as, if a student does not turn their homework in on time, they might say: Well, Johnny said it was not due until Friday”. Instead of double checking when the assignment was due, they passed the blame to another student. By having personal responsibility others will respect you. People get tired and aggravated of getting blame all the time. Especially when it is not their fault to begin with. Surrounding yourself with positive people who already have personal responsibility is key to being personal
