"Accept responsibility for who you are, instead of what you've been."
If you focus on "what you have been" you are focusing on the past. The past is gone. It cannot make the present any different. Focusing on the past can lead you into the same problems you had-- the ones that gave you this moment. Showing remorse for the past of itself does not change behavior.
Accepting your "ability to respond" as who you are in this moment means you have the ability to make this moment and each succeeding moment different. Do you want a new future? Accepting the responsibility for who you are acknowledges you have the power to change. Do you dare to grab a new future? Showing remorse for the past and accepting that you are responsible for your behavior now and always is the first step in not repeating the same mistakes. It is also the first step in making your life different.
