#1 I will accept responsibility for my past. I will not let my history control my destiny. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating with those who have decided to be comfortable.

#2 We blame others when we can’t control our lives, but we must realize that our choices in response to those events are what have led us down this path. We can make choices that will lead us to a place we like.

#3 The Responsible Decision is all about owning your power. Your choices have made you what you are today, and your thinking creates a pathway to success or failure. To accept responsibility for your choices, you must become aware of and accept responsibility for your thinking.

#4 We are where we are because of how we think. If we are responsible for where we are, we have hope for where we’re going. By disowning responsibility for our present, we give our power away and deny ourselves an incredible future.
