Write and complete each of the sentences below.
Option 1- What I've learned about personal responsibility. By planning and reading all these things about personal responsibility, one thing that I learned is just how important personal responsibility is to changing habits that don't serve you. I definitely can get defensive when I feel vulnerable, and if I just don't want to do things, I'll often develop excuses that don't center on me, but on outside influences or factors. But really, deep down, I know that it's on me to change the habits. I'm hoping to use this knowledge to both become less defensive with people close to me when I feel like I'm being criticized (because I think they're often right!), and to establish some good habits (specifically exercising regularly). I often make excuses about the exercise piece because I'm tired, or busy, or whatever else, but really, if it's a priority for me I need to be responsible for those choices. I also find all the research really fascinating- I think that the idea that personal responsibility is aligned with success is interesting, and I'm wondering what it would be like in culture that values personal responsibility less- do they also define success differently? Or do they just find it more difficult to reach success?
