Another vital cornerstone for success is that of responsibility for one’s actions. You can only be truly successful when you are accountable for your actions. This does not mean that you are to openly take credit and seek acknowledgement for your accomplishments. A virtuous person is known for their actions and does not have to exhibit them This means that you accept the responsibility for what you choose to do. This may not seem like much, but it is one of the most common and destructive elements that keep success from occurring.

By not taking responsibility, we direct our focus and energies on negative aspects that our subconscious knows to be untrue. This sets up a form of perpetual drain of our energies, both physical as well as emotional, and encumbers us by being a consistent distraction. This evolves into a form of unresolved conflict within oneself. It makes it difficult and very impractical to attempt any successful endeavor. Usually if anything does work, it is an exception and not the rule. When we accept our actions as our own, whether they are good or bad, we can then deal with them and let go so that we can effectively focus on what is needed in order to succeed.
