Blame sets in motion a self-feeding cycle of excuses for failing. Part of the power of taking responsibility for your actions is that you silence the negative voice in your head.
When you spend your thinking time on success and goal accomplishment, instead of on making excuses, you free up the emotional space inhabited by negativity.
Worry is another aspect of not taking responsibility. Sometimes I think we are rather sadistic species when we’d rather spend more time worrying than visualizing success.
The strength behind taking responsibility is you remove the power from others or conditions to make you fail. You own the power to find the solution, to make the due date, to believe in your mission and succeed. When you take responsibility, others can’t take that away from you.
According to a recent survey, a record number of young people are starting their own business. However, the survey also reported that more than 60 percent of the surveyed women admitted that fear of failure would stop them trying to start their own business, compared with just over 50 per cent of men.

Write down one thing you blame for your current situation. Next, determine how you can take responsibility and remove that roadblock.
