Stop blaming, start claiming




We are all so addicted to blaming.  We blame others for any and every bad thing that happens to us.  Our failure, our disaster, adversity, sickness, divorce etc. etc. The game of blame is not only easy, it is very addictive too.  In fact, it is the only game we are good at.  It needs no practice, no experience,  no acumen, no NOTHING.   It is just so natural and so inborn.   

As infants our every discomfort is our mother's  fault.  Our brought up is our parent's incapability.   Our shortcomings are their negligence.  Our bad grades are our teacher's responsibility.   Our inability to get a good job is the emplyer's discrimination.  Our unsuccessful marriage is due to our uncompromising spouse.  Our disobedient offsprings are blamed on the environment and society.  Our ill health is because of our irresponsible children.  The list of blame goes on and on .......!  

Are we responsible for anything at all?  Are we ever at fault?  Are we ever wrong.  The answer is simple and easy and contains only two letters.  "NO!"  We can never ever be held accountable for anthing at all that may have gone wrong.  
While we are audacious enough to CLAIM all credit and praises for ourselves,  we outrageously dump the BLAME on others.  By doing so, are we gaining anything?   Is it helping us in any way?  

Definitely not!  We have indeed fallen in the bad habit of blaming, but it is never too late and think othwise and start claiming responsibilities for the errors and failures that we had to face.  Think for a moment.   Just like the way we are blaming others, so are they blaming us.  We are being blamed for things that we have no knowledge of or have anything to do with.  Are we okay with that?  I don't think so.  This is injustice, right?

The huge favor we will be doing to ourselve is to be courageous enough to CLAIM responsibility for all our setbacks and  generously discharge others from all such accusations.   Remember we are not responsible just as others.  So.....let us stop the game and claim the blame.  Our welfare lies in taking the blame and rectifying them and learn from them to be cautious in future.  

Blaming others is the shortest and easiest way to failure.
Claiming responsibility is a tough but sure way to success.
