What does 'It's on you' mean as a call to personal responsibility?

Emma Vigeland 0:17
If you don't make it, it's on you.
Eric Thomas 0:48
And that's it. There's nobody else to blame. Everything is your fault. Everything. The good stuff in your life, that's on you. You did that.
Ryan Holiday 1:02
It's on you, your conscious ability to be awake and to be articulate and to be clued in and to keep nature at bay and culture straight and your own malevolence under check and to combat the unknown and to transform it into something that's good. That's what you are.
Eric Thomas 1:19
And my goal when I was sitting there not going to school, being bullied, having no self-esteem, my goal was the only person that's going to turn this person around is me. The only way I can turn it around is put myself through the worst things possible a human being can ever endure. And that would be the only way that I can build this brain to handle anything that comes in front of it, callousing my mind through pain and suffering.
Ryan Holiday 1:46
You have an idea. It's on you and only you to go execute it. And if it fails, go do it again and go to a different idea.
Eric Thomas 1:55
And it's on you. If you as talented as you say you are, you as gifted as you say you are, you should be able to line up with anybody and go out there and win. So after today, it's on you after today. Ain't no more excuses after today. Ain't no more wiggle room after today. You got to get after it now. You gotta get after it. You gotta get up on your own. You gotta be able to make big decisions on your own. You're gonna lose weight on your own.
Mel Robbins 2:22
There are a myriad of targets you have to hit by yourself. If you want your life to turn around, it's your job to do it. If you want to pay off your bills, it's your job to do it. If you want to change, where you're at in life, it is your job to change it. Your algorithm is exposing you.
Eric Thomas 2:43
My algorithm is trading cards, comic books, the New York Jets, sunshine, rainbows, happy people, random acts of kindness. If your feed is politicians scaring you all day, that's on you. Nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to save you. Nobody's coming to help you. Nobody's coming to give you a cheat code. Nobody's coming to show you a shortcut. You got to figure this out on your own. There are some things in life nobody's going to show up. It's all on you.
Elliot Ackerman 3:13
I'm talking about the you versus you obligations. And while nobody throws you a party when you abide by them, no one's going to arrest you when you break them either. It's on you.
Ryan Holiday 3:26
It's on you.
Eric Thomas 3:28
You are this person right now. You're the person who's learned from those failures. And you can choose to be the hero of your own movie right now. But everything rises and falls on you. What would you tomorrow want you today to do?
Ryan Holiday 3:45
Pretty bulletproof. but difficult, right? Very difficult to do because it gives you pretty much nowhere to hide. There's essentially nowhere to hide at all. And when you do make bad decisions, It's on you. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can, and no one may, right? You have to get active in your own rescue, as the Stoics say, as do the Buddhists. It's your responsibility. It's on you. Blow your own nose, as Epictetus says, right? No one's coming to save you. There is no magical solution. There's just hard work. It's time and patience, but most of all, your own effort, focusing on the response, focusing on what's in your control, remembering that you are mortal, choosing not to rust out, but to wear out.
Ryan Holiday 4:37
Get to work, get moving. You can watch videos like this all day, you can read all the books in the world, but at some point, you gotta put it down, you gotta get up from the computer, and you gotta go to work. You gotta do what you know you have to do. That's how you get better. That's how you improve. If you've decided, I got , well then the game's over anyway.
Eric Thomas 4:57
What the fuck are we doing here? If you've decided I can't because I was unlucky, my mom this, my dad this, my country this, my gender that, my income level this, well then it's over.
