We all need to take responsibility for what we do and what we say, for how we earn our money, and how we spend our money. I don’t believe in lack of freedom, but I do believe it’s imperative that everyone take responsibility for their choices and actions.
Pinned
it is well past time that people in the United States start taking responsibility for their jobs, their words, their actions, and what they say, they believe in. Blaming everyone else for personal Miss deeds just means you’re weak and foolish. Stop looking for scapegoat and look in the mirror.
