Stop Blaming Others, Even if they Deserve Blame

In the end, blaming others drains your energy and leads to nowhere.

Life is imperfect.  People are imperfect.  Chances are, you're a little bit imperfect too.  All we can do is make the best of our lives and deal with the situation we're in.

Thus, a Self-Made Sage knows that no matter who is to blame in any given situation, the future is never going to change unless you live with personal accountability and take your own actions to change.  The reason is because in the end casting blame on others leads you to nowhere.  Blaming others drains your energy.  Blaming others distracts you from your priorities.  Blaming OTHERS does not get YOU to where you ought to be.

It can certainly be frustrating when you're told that your choices led you to where you are... that everything is your fault and a result of the actions you've taken.  While there is certainly a percentage the rings true for all us, there is also the environment we're in and the actions of others to consider as well.

Yes, sometimes bad things happen to good people.

Yes, sometimes bad people enter our lives and wreak havoc.

Yes, sometimes the events that lead us to wherever we are were beyond our control.

But although tou may not be able to control how other people behave, nor the things around you, you CAN control how you react to them.  Sometimes you can choose to react in a positive way or sometimes you must deal with something negative, but at all times realize YOU have the power to address it.

From this day forward make a commitment to stop standing still and doing nothing but blame others.  Even if they deserve it.  Even if they really deserve it!   If they are truly deserving of the blame (and likely they are), it is their issue to deal with -- not yours.

You are wise and powerful.  You are in control of your future.  You will live beyond blame.
