What is your focus? Blaming or freedom?
It is easy to blame the other. Easy to feel you are the victim.
It is all so easy. And stupid.
Stupid because you are ditching your responsibility.
‘You are wrong.’ ‘Here is what I want you to do.’ ‘Here is whom I want you to be’. Aaarghhh. What a waste of time.
The other is not going to fill the gap, the gap between your expectations and reality. Not tomorrow, not later. You can wait a lifetime for others to do the right things, to say the right words. In the meantime, you are frustrated or sad or angry, or all of them. Every day.
Find what your unmet needs are. And be honest with yourself.
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” (Victor Frankl).
Take that power, use that freedom.
