Victim Of The Blame Game
I want to share with you today something that has been stirring my spirit over the last several days. The topic that has been eating away at me has to do with "Responsibility" and "The Blame Game"! I probably won't make a lot of friends from this discussion but if you don't hold this core value I don't want to be your friend anyway!
We seem to live in an age where everyone just passes the blame on to someone else. It is very seldom that you meet someone who actually takes responsibility for there actions. Everywhere you turn people are blaming everyone else! "We'll its not my fault its the governments" "I was there but it was his idea" "I didn't get the promotion because my boss doesn't like me". Are you picking up on the common theme here?? Not only is this negative talk repulsive but it literally takes you out of the equation, relieving you of all responsibility! How can you take ownership of something when its someone else's fault?
I feel very sorry for people who have this attitude which has been called the "Victim Mentality." You are not the one responsible you are the victim. Therefore you have the right to blame everyone else for your inadequacies. I do not know about you but I am SICK AND TIRED of this attitude!!
If you ever want to live a successful life you need to move away from this Blame Game and Victim Mentality. It is nobodies fault that I am underpaid except my own! It is nobodies fault that I did not make any business phone calls this week except my own! It is ALL my Responsibility and nobody else's!! If my life, or your life, is not how you want it to be you need to take responsibility and take action! Instead of exhausting all your energy on complaining and blaming, use that energy to take the required actions necessary to change the situation your are unhappy with.
The former President Harry Truman had a famous saying: The Buck Stops Here! This is so perfect for what we are talking about today . As I said earlier if you want to live a life of success stop passing the blame/the buck. Its time to take responsibility for your life and your actions/inactions because the Buck Stops Here for you and for me, RIGHT NOW!!
