Whenever we are discussing something that isn't working in our lives, it seems some of us are always blaming other people or other things.
Why is that?
WE are the common denominator in our relationships/circumstances. Shouldn't that tell us something?
IMO, and it's just an opinion, not a fact, just my observation, but some people cannot seem to get past this and they continually have the same issues.
Some of us live in the I, ME and MY world except when it comes to the responsibility for something failed or lacking in our lives.
Do you know anyone like this? I have a relative and she visited while my husband was dying. Every time you say something she one ups you. And after awhile we joked behind her back to count how many "I's" she used in conversation. It was astounding! One of my other relatives said he quit counting after 50 and that was only a few minutes into the conversation.
Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE this relative. But I also know she is self absorbed and does not take criticism lightly, well not at all really, but she is ready at every turn to give it to you lol.
Sometimes I think THIS is what hinders us from going forward. We are only thinking of things from our perspective (naturally) but fail to see that maybe we need to change our thought process (not easy) AND our speech (I, I, I, Me, Me, Me) in order to get a different result.
It would take work no doubt, but the alternative is if you keep doing the same thing and thinking the same way, you will continue to get the same result that you are complaining about.
