What does it mean to take responsibility for your actions? Simple ... when you did try to break the glass door you took responsibility when you realize you did play a major part in why it happened and you acknowledge that you always allow yourself to give in to the invitation of your unchecked temper. It simply meant that when a mistake is made, you didn't fudge or lie about it, falsify and elude facts, resort to cover-ups, blame others, or become evasive.Instead, you recognized you have a problem. And you identified what triggered it and what is the root cause of the problem, developed an action plan, execute it and evaluate the chances that it might happen again.
