We have the ability to take responsibility for things in all manner of our life. One of the skills I am trying to teach my son is to reflect on situations and think of ways which you contributed to the outcome and how in the future you could make a different decision.  Even when things are accidents we can still find ways we could have helped prevent the incident.  I found it interesting in a nutrition book I have been reading as of late that this ability to choose and take responsibility is imbedded within our DNA.  The book gave the example of twins whose DNA was near identical at birth however in their later years was vastly different because of the way they chose to live their life.  I urge us all to reflect and take responsibility for those things you can  control in your life.
