What does responsibility really mean when deal with taking action, instead of just reading, writing, or talking about it?

Personal responsibility, as the mentioned Bible verse puts it, is the decisions and actions one takes and taking responsibility on whatever these decisions and actions will result to. It is an important human ability that helps individuals deal with any kind of circumstance or situation properly and accordingly. Not only does personal responsibility affect a single person, but also the people around him or her.

When it comes to this remarkable human ability, it is not forced upon a person. It is rather of one's willingness to do so. Despite this, there are sadly only a few who truly and committedly practice personal responsibility for the outcome of the decisions they make and the actions they take. Most tend to blame an undesirable scenario they are in on others around them. Others make so many excuses when something bad happens or doesn't go their way. In addition to this, people don't usually realize that their bad decisions or actions could affect other people. Without a sense of personal responsibility, the world could be a very chaotic place to live in.

Personal responsibility is all about taking the first step and maintaining the drive to keep moving forward. It doesn't matter if one chooses the wrong way, as long as he or she take responsibility and learn from it, avoiding the mistake to be repeated.
