When we blame the experience we have and conditions of our lives on external factors, especially those that we have no control over, we lose the ability to improve them.
It’s easy to deflect responsibility since it allows us to not judge ourselves poorly or to be viewed by others as a victim and not the architect of our struggles.
Only when we take responsibility for all aspects of our experience can we change them.
Finger pointing perpetuates a life out of alignment with our highest good while self reflection and ownership is the springboard of change.
