The Blame Game

I have a huge amount of respect for Tony Robbins. When I get the chance to work up the money, I will attend one of his events. It’ll happen.

For now, I watch his documentary I Am Not Your Guru on Netflix and try to live vicariously through that.

In the beginning, it shows him working with a girl that has daddy issues. He flat out tells her that if she’s going to blame him for all of the bad in her life, then she also has to blame him for all the good in her life too.

It’s like I just got smacked upside the head through my tv. Ha.

I blame myself for so much shit.
I blame all of my problems on me.
I blame my inability to lose weight on me.
I blame my trust issues on my lack of self-respect.
I blame 90% of what I do today on my past.

But guess what?
I also have to blame myself for everything else.

I blame myself for having a great career.
I blame myself for having my bachelor’s degree.
I blame myself for being in a great relationship.
I blame myself for being happy.
I blame myself for being happy.
I blame myself for being happy.

And that’s how the blame game really needs to go.
I can change and work on all the negatives, but I HAVE to give credit where credit is due on all of the good stuff too.
