Have you ever found yourself saying,

“It’s Not My Fault!“

We all have.

Sometimes it is just so easy to blame someone else when things go wrong.

Something happened — It’s not my fault, it’s somebody elses.

But what if it really wasn’t?

Fault is a blame game

What if we shifted away from blame to taking responsibility?

It changes the picture a bit, doesn’t it?

Taking responsibility for your own actions can be a bit challenging.

It can put you in a position of being the scapgoat for others.

However, it also puts you in a position to learn and grow more than the others.

For the person who has learned, or is learning, to take responsiblity, when things go wrong they know there is something they can do to make things right again.

But the person who is stuck in blaming others, that person is left helpless at the mercy of the event.

Taking responsibility is not about taking on blame.

It is about taking on the power to make life better.

Just something to think about.

Please share a story of when you shifted from blame to taking responsibility in the comments below!

all the best
