[Quote No.27622] Need Area: Friends > Conversation "The acceptance of responsibility is the foundation of high self-esteem, self-respect, and personal pride. The acceptance of personal responsibility lies at the core of the personality of every outstanding man or woman.
On the other hand, when you make excuses, blame other people, complain, or criticize, you give your power away. You weaken yourself and your resolve. You turn over control of your emotions to the people and situations you are blaming or complaining about.
You do not escape responsibility by attempting to pass it off onto other people. You are still responsible. But you give up a sense of control over your life. You begin to feel like a victim and see yourself as a victim. You become passive and resigned rather than powerful and proactive. Instead of feeling on top of your world, you feel as if your world is on top of you. This way of thinking leads you up a blind alley from which there is no escape. It is a dead-end road on which you should refuse to travel." - Brian Tracy American business and self help author.
