I often wonder why it is when we encounter a difficult challenge in life, we usually want to place the blame outside ourselves. We want to say someone caused this to happen because they did something to us, or took something, or said something, that in turn created the mess we find ourselves standing in.
As the years pass I'm learning to stop being so quick to blame others, but to turn within and ask myself what did I do that allowed this energy, person or situation to be in my experience? When I am open and honest with ME, it is amazing how quickly I can find a solution to what I'm dealing with.
Self observation is a powerful tool in empowerment. Self examination allows us to stop playing the "blame game" in life and begin to take responsibility for how we live our lives. Is it always ME that causes a challenge I experience? No, but I can then question how can I find another way of looking at the lesson before me, heal it, learn from it and move on.
So no matter what the case may be; An argument with a friend, co-workers, or the relationship we long for is not manifesting. The question to ponder that could give us our greatest opportunity for growth could be "What must I change about me in order to become more healthy and whole?"
I am always ready to learn and grow, sometimes kickin' and draggin' my heels in the dirt, but learning as I go just the same.
