The Blame Game
Hey powerful people,
For many years, I blamed other people for the crazy & dramatic situations I found myself in. I felt frustrated and powerless, like someone else had control over my life, like I had no ability to direct it. I’d love to say one seminar, one conversation with a friend, one self-help book changed my perspective, but that wouldn’t be true — it’s all helped me reframe my reality. I now see it as an ongoing awakening within myself to have the courage to be myself and not someone else’s version of who I should be.
If you find yourself in blame mode, perhaps stop and ask yourself the following questions:
1) Am I really powerless to change this situation?
2) Does this other person or situation really have control over me?
3) What could I do to change this outcome so I eliminate blaming others?
