I am a big advocate about taking responsibility for oneself. Now with that in mind, I believe responsibility is an age related thing. When you are young, it's okay to be irresponsible. Youth is a time for figuring out who you are and where you want to go in life. It is a time of exploration and having fun. As we get older though it is time to put off such childish things and take responsibility for your life.
Strategy doesn't work that well if you don't hold yourself responsible. Many people think that responsibility means that you are giving up your freedom, but I contend that it gives you freedom in your life because you take control of your life. There are things in this life that you can not control, but there are things you can. Nobody is going to do your life for you. If you want something done then you are going to have to do it yourself. Your life is your responsibility and no one is going to live it for you.
One way to start gaining control of things in your life is to stop making excuses. Having a habit of making excuses is not going to get you anywhere.
