Because of You

Do you find yourself thinking or saying things like this a lot:

Gosh, why can’t you ever get it right?
Do I have to do everything around here?
Why can’t you do something?
How many times do I have to ask you to do that?
She/He is so lazy.
They always mess up.

This type of attitude shows a clear mentality of one lacking in taking responsibility. If you find yourself always blaming other people for what is not going right in your life, you need to pause and do a little self-reflection. It is never entirely the other person's fault.

Additionally, no one else is responsible for your life but YOU. If things are not going the way you would like them to go, then change your actions. If people are not living up to your expectations, then you need to change your approach. If the burdens you are carrying are too heavy, then you need to lighten your load.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“If you find yourself always bumping heads with others, maybe you should look at what you need to work on in order to negotiate a compromise.” tc
