Personal accountability is essential to understanding and accepting responsibility for one’s own actions. Developing the ability to accept the nature of the situation, and then move forward with a solution, instead of getting bogged down in the blame game, creates critical thinking skills, leadership skills, and most of all an ability to problem solve. Today’s society seems to have gotten lost in this aspect, because in many cases it is always someone else’s fault, even in our politics, the fingers are pointing in some else’s direction.
