Who's fault is it?

 

 

How many times will we continue to blame ourselves for other people's actions. Every person has free will and has the ability to choose what they would like to do or not like to do. The only way someone is able to make a person do something is by literally "putting a gun to their head". Even then there is still a choice.

 

 

We then tell ourselves untruths like: "if I had only stayed" or "maybe if I would have done..." or "I should, would, or could have...". You could have done everything that you possibly could to help in the situation but the mindset is a difficult thing to change. Once a person has made up in their mind that they are going to do something, there is usually no turning back. So why is it that we continue to pick up the baggage from one person and carry it around? We usually pick up the suitcase full of guilt and drag it with us everywhere we go. It begins to weigh us down and soon we become physically unable to function. I am declaring to you today that it is not your fault!!!!

 

 



A Time to Reset

Today I realized that it was okay to start over. Why continue to do the same things over and over again only to receive the same result? That would be considered insanity. Starting over does not mean you failed; it just means that you need to try a different route. Never be ashamed to press the reset button. When something doesn't work, look for ways that it could have been done differently. The only time a person fails is when they stop trying.

Supposing you have tried and failed again and again.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
- Mary Pickford

 

 

 

Let today be your new start. If you do not like the way something is going then change it. You have the power to create your paths in life. Be the rose that grew in concrete. If I could use my imagination... The rose had to take many paths, meet many road blocks, and endure not so favorable circumstances. But in the end, the rose prevailed! It became a beautiful fixture in a place where no one ever expected.
