Personal Responsibility makes us responsible for the choices and decisions we choose in our own lives. When I observe other individuals not dedicating themselves to their own responsibility it motivates me to excel. I think having a set mind on what we won’t to do with ourselves and the decision we make should be taught to us at the beginning. For example, like the Gerber life commercial.
