26. Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life. AMEN!!! Easier said than done for some people...
I try my best not to dwell or worry about what other people have done to me and just look at it as lessons learned. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Dwelling on what someone should be doing for you or may have done to you is not going to make life any better for you. It is not affecting the other person in any way! But it will do major damage to you and your emotional stability... Eating you up from the inside out!
Grudges or the "shoulda, coulda, woulda's" do not benefit you. Let it go and take ownership of your own actions, destiny and dreams. You are the only person that is responsible for your future and quality of life. A lot of us can bring everything back around to money and yes if we had more money things could be easier. However you don't have it and you are not going to get it by dwelling over it or complaining about it. Make every penny count, make it more meaningful to yourself: Take responsibility for your own life, go out and make the difference. Go back to school, look for a different job or do something that makes you happy. Just STOP blaming someone else for what you do or don't have!
If someone owes you something or did you wrong. Don't worry about it, they will get there's in the end. It is not our place to pass judgement, "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32
People who do wrong by you will pay for their own trespasses in the long run. Like they say Karma's a B***H, and I would much rather deal with the Karma then with God, his forgiveness is the one you should worry about. "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15
You are beautiful, worthy and loved. If you can't let go of the grudges and take responsibility for yourself all you are doing is hurting yourself. It all begins on the inside... Put aside the anger, learn how to take back the power you have given them... Move forward and make a new path to your brighter future. In the long run you will feel better, be happier and appreciate life more! Why??? Because you did it all by yourself!!!
