What happened to responsibility!

There was a time when parents were responsible for their children! Parents taught their children to be responsibility, i. e. There are consequences to ones actions! I remember my mother telling me time and time again the price you would pay if a specific situation happened.

She instilled in me what I then years later instilled in my children. One of the major challenges was, "bad associations spoil useful habits". I can't tell you how much my mother analyzed my possible friends. She still does this today and I am 52!

As we grow up and especially if you have brothers and sisters we have a tendency to pass the blame on to others. The penalty was severe if we did this in my family. But what has happened to owning up to your responsibility?

It actually has gone the way of losing ethics. Your ethics along with your qualities make up the person. As we see politicians, celebrities and those around us lose both we tend to without noticing embrace bad habits and lose our ethics. It is important to periodically analyze who you are, what you are and how you relate to others. Where there is weakness, work had to improve it.

Therefore own up to your responsibility because good habits and ethics results in success and happiness!
