Even though it is Monday, and let's be honest, we'd rather it be Sunday, there is always something we can be thankful for. Interestingly today's quote has nothing to do with being thankful. It is about something very negative and damaging. Blame. Here is it, "The blame game is the longest one on the shelf - people are forever buying it even though in the end there is never a winner."
Do you know someone who is fond of that game? I do. We all do. Where has it gotten them? Probably the same place as the people I know. No where. Blame is perpetual. You start with one thing and move onto the next. If you live your life blaming people, circumstances, events and never take responsibility, you will live in that eternal state of misery.
There are times when people, circumstances and events are to blame for some sort of misfortune but if blame is a pattern for you then that is a definite problem. Always ask yourself what your role was in any situation before resorting to blame. Blame is the easy way out. It lets you off the hook. It tells you the world is against you and therefore you are just an innocent bystander but in the end you have to really look and see where this has gotten you.
I love reading stories about people who have had really horrible, difficult lives and how they overcame those hardships. The common factor of most if not all of those stories is that blame has never been an issue. This is the hand they were dealt with and they deal!
I don't wish hardship on anyone but if a difficult person, event or situation comes your way, don't go into the mode of blame. Rise above it and be bigger than the problem. Take a deep breath and face it head on. Reach into luminous yellow! You are stronger than you think and more courageous than you know! Have a wonderful Monday everyone!~Love, Amy
