“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”

By: MR. C. S. Haymore

Overall, I think this statement means to say that we should take care of ourselves. We need to take responsibility for what we do to ourselves. I think that if we are unhealthy it’s our own fault. If we are depressed it too, is our fault. I know that some people are diagnosed with depression but there should be no reason why we should let sadness control us. That would also be killing our spirit. If we let sadness get to us we become a melancholy person and that is not healthy.  Everything we do has an affect on us and we decide what we do so it’s really our fault. If we want to be happy then we need to do things that make us feel happy. If we do things that make us sad then we shout keep from doing those things. Like Mr. Haymore said, we need to take responsibility for our own bodies. If we don’t take care of ourselves then who is? We are the only people who can harm us. With that said, I find it fitting to say that if we choose the right there should be no reason as to why we are sad or unhealthy. An example would be an unhealthy person. That person has chosen to eat an abundant amount of junk food and has avoided any form of exercise. That person has taken responsibility for what they have done to their body. They have also decide to do something about it and exercise as well as eating the right food. That person is now physically healthy and it all had to do with himself. It all has to do with motivation and self acceptance. We have to realize that nobody can affect us in only ways we can affect ourselves.
