You would think that, with the addiction humanity has with control, each individual would first place blame on the self before blaming someone else. But this is not the case. Why, in a world where we try and control outcomes in our lives would we constantly place our focus on outside of our own selves? How can we think that we have control over that which we have no control over and we know we don’t have control over outside circumstances but yet we must think we have control over what we don’t have control over otherwise, why would we be constantly putting blame on the external?

We know we don’t have control over anything but ourselves. We have a constant want to control our lives. But yet we do the thing that completely makes us lose our power! Talk about insanity!

This needs another paragraph because of how insane it actually really is! We want to dictate every second of our lives, but yet we are always so quick to give that power of control away! And, depending on the circumstances, it is more socially acceptable to give our power away rather than take responsibility ourselves. The insane is viewed as sane and the sane is viewed as insane!

Your power comes from within, not from without. It does not come from other people nor outside circumstances. Every time you look outside of yourself for blame you are giving your own power away, the power only you have to change it. Remember this next time you think about placing “the blame” on something or someone outside of your own self. You want control? You got it. But in order to use this power you must first choose responsibility. You must own your circumstance and place “the blame” on self. Find your own power, find the only kind of “control” that you actually do have and start becoming sane!

What makes more sense:

I want control but the only thing I do have control over is myself, so I’m going to place “the blame” on everything outside of myself, take zero responsibility for it, and just sit and complain and be miserable.

Or

I want control but the only thing I do have control over is myself, so I am going to place “the blame” on self, I’m going to take responsibility for my own circumstances, and work towards changing it.

Get your power back. Your emotions, your life circumstances, your physical state, anything that you experience can all be connected back to you.

You are the one experiencing it. Only you can change it. But you can’t change it if you don’t own it.
