Changes Lets talk about taking responsibility. That seems to be a tough one these days. So many folks don't appear to be able to or to want to take much responsibility for their problems, deficiencies, or harms they might cause to themselves or others.

Sorry, I don't buy the excuses and denial of personal responsibility. His own decisions, his own behavior, his own eating habits, and his own sedentary lifestyle were responsible for his condition. No one else, no provider of fast foods, no wife or other family member, no employer, no social-structural, economic, or political forces were responsible for his condition. Not a pretty picture, is it. Some things came along that moved him to take responsibility for his own life and to make necessary changes.
