Have you been wasting your life away by playing the blame game?

Today’s society seems to not only except but encourages people to play the blame game.

How many times have you heard ….

“It’s not his fault he was abused as a child.”
“He/she didn’t get enough love as a child – that’s why he/she has withdrawn socially.”
“He was an outcast at school”

We blame others when we tell ourselves …
“I would have had it if he/she wouldn’t have …”
“They fired me for no reason at all.”
“I had to do it because he/she …”
“I’m so stressed because he/she …”
“Mary did it so I thought I could too …”
“Mr. Jones gets by with it, so why shouldn’t I?”

I could go on and on with examples of how people blame other people for their lives.

Blame is an excuse that you’ve given yourself.  The only reason you want to blame someone or something else is to take the responsibility off of your shoulders.   By blaming another, you are giving them power over you.  You focus on them so you don’t have to look inward for the answers.

You are unable to focus positive energy on creating the life you desire for yourself and your family – because all of your energy is being used negatively to blame someone else or something else for all the problems in your life.

Don’t mistake blame for mistakes.  We are all human and we all make mistakes.  Blame is finding a scapegoat in order to avoid your own mistakes.

In Excuses Begone Wayne Dyer shows you techniques that will enable you to stop making excuses – including blame – and take control of your life.

It’s time to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY of your life!

Let go of the blame and allow positive energy to flow into your life.  Blame is a negative emotion.  Your can’t have a negative and positive emotion at the same time.  When you are busy playing the blame game – you won’t have the time or energy to correct the mistake.

It’s interesting to note that some experts state that 99% of our problems exist only because we are able to blame someone or something for our problems.

Think about it, we blame others because somewhere in our head we think we are hurting them – or getting even – or whatever.  The truth is there is only one person we are hurting when we blame – OUR SELF.

Become a happier more positive person by taking responsibility, changing what you can and accepting what you can’t change.  You can change your future – but not the past.

There was once a reporter that interviewed a skid-row alcoholic bum. The reporter asked the bum:

“Why are you the way you are?”

The bum replied, “What else would you expect me to be with a father like mine? My father yelled all the time, put me down, ridiculed me, told me I was worthless and beat me for misbehaving.”

The reporter nodded his head in empathy.

Next the reporter interviewed a successful businessman. In matter of fact this businessman was a self-made millionaire.

The reporter asked the businessman:

“Why are you the way you are?”

The businessman replied, “What else would you expect me to be with a father like mine?

My father yelled all the time, put me down, ridiculed me, told me I was worthless and beat me for misbehaving. I was determined to prove him wrong.”

That night as the reporter was putting his story together it dawned on him …..

The alcoholic bum and the self-made millionaire were brothers!

They both had the same father. The same ridicule, the same type of upbringing.

What set these two men apart?

The alcoholic CHOOSE to drown himself in his sorrows, to pity himself and to BLAME everything on his father.

The self-made millionaire CHOOSE to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for his own life and his own actions. He CHOOSE not to believe the lies his father told him.

It’s time you ask yourself:

“Why are you the way you are?”

“Are you taking responsibility for your own life?”

Decide today to start taking responsibility for your life. Stop making excuses and begin building the life you desire.
