Ben Fogle has blasted a lack of \u2018accountability\u2019 in the world and urged people to \u2018take responsibility\u2019 for their actions.<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old TV adventurer took aim at \u2018lazy\u2019 keyboard warriors and politicians for fostering a \u2018pandemic of blame\u2019 by refusing to accept any blame for their shortcomings.<\/p>\n
In a lengthy Instagram post, he wrote: \u2018Accountability! Where has it gone?
If there is one thing I have learnt during my expeditions, it\u2019s to take responsibility and ownership of my own actions\u2026 To respect and acknowledge my own accountability.<\/p>\n
\u2018We win or lose, succeed or fail, live or die according to our personal actions.
There seems to be a pandemic of blame. Everyone is at it, blaming others for their own errors, failings or frustrations. Politicians do it. CEOs do it. Everyone is at it.<\/p>\n
\u2018Take responsibility and accept your own short comings or failings. Own them. Learn from them.<\/p>\n
\u2018As an orator once said, \u201csuccess is stumbling from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm\u201d. Blaming others is a lazy, lame way of excusing your own mistakes.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ben \u2013 who is set to \u2018give Indiana Jones a run for his money\u2019 on his new Channel 5 show \u2013 pointed out that people shouldn\u2019t have to tear others down to make themselves feel better.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u2018Blame has reached such epic proportions that many feel that blaming others someone makes them better. It doesn\u2019t. It just makes you lazy. Another keyboard warrior, pile on, shirker.<\/p>\n
\u2018Remember, \u201cblowing out someone else\u2019s candle doesn\u2019t make yours glow any brighter\u201d, on the contrary, there is less light to go around.\u2019<\/p>\n
And while he noted that \u2018making mistakes is human nature\u2019, Ben thinks it\u2019s important to \u2018restore accountability\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have made plenty of mistakes. I have had errors of judgment. I am far from perfect but I have always taken responsibility for those shortcomings,\u2019 he insisted.<\/p>\n
\u2018In nature, there is no one to blame except yourself. Own your own narrative or someone else will take it. Happy Bank Holiday Monday.\u2019<\/p>\n
