Thought Exercise: Take the Blame

Here is a simple but powerful thought exercise and life philosophy I like to employ for when things don't go your way, you don't like or are bothered by something.

Take the blame. Pretend it's personally your fault. Now, what can you as an individual do or change to improve the situation? It might be an action, thought, or even just a change of perspective.

Ask: what can I change about myself to make things better? After all, that's what you have the most control over.

The easiest thing to do is blame an external factor or someone else. While it's true that many things we can't control, there's always something that can be altered, even if it's just the way you react.

"I will turn the inner eye to see its path", so to speak. It puts my trivial problems in a whole new light.

Anyway, just something to think about. Sharing my perspective, let me know your thoughts.
