Role models

Different situations bring about different reactions. So where do we attribute the reactions? We can only learn so much from our parents. Once we step into the real world, we can easily be influenced by those around us. So who do we blame when something goes wrong? Do we blame everyone but ourselves? When do we accept responsibility for our own actions? I have tried not to let anyone influence me into doing something that I don't want to do, but even I'll admit that it's hard. Nobody likes having their card pulled. It puts you in a awkward situation. So what are we supposed to do? Me personally, I do my own thing. Don't get me wrong; I listen to all the advice that I get from older cats, but I don't base my decisions solely on what I hear. I make my own decisions. I feel like I have to make my own decisions in order to give another youngster advice about what to do in life. Experience is not something that you hear, it's something you live. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we have to stop looking for excuses or someone to blame for our actions. We make our own decisions. Now only if I could heed my own advice.
