Who's to blame?
Have you ever felt that your life is miserable because of other people?
Your boss, your parents, the traffic, the pollution, the corruption, God.. yes? Everyone else but you?
It's a very comfortable place to be when we blame others for our troubles.
It takes courage to look in the mirror and acknowledge that you are the one who is actually at fault.
You are the one who tolerated other people's shit, their injustice, their mistakes.
You are the one who didn't say No when it was necessary to be said.
Yes, that was your mistake – not speaking up or taking action at the right time.
And you are the only one who can dig yourself out of the hole you dug yourself into.
How?
Acknowledge that you have a problem.
Acknowledge that you need help.
Now get out there and get the help you need.
It takes courage to ask for help. And there is no shame in that.
There is no shame in being vulnerable, or being weak or being unable to get yourself out of a particular situation.
There is no shame in correcting your past mistakes, apologizing to the people that you hurt in the past, in mending bridges that you burnt.
Living in denial as you suffer through life while you blame everyone else for your misery is worse.
Give yourself a real chance.
Trust me, you got this!
