Giving Yourself The Finger

Blame... It's highly overrated.

Over the last couple of years, I've been going through some rough stuff... I've been learning a bit. Mark Twain said, "A man learns something carrying a cat by its tail that he can learn in no other way." Holy smokes, he was right. It's always the hard way, isn't it?

It's been painful. More so than I ever could've imagined. And humbling. And sometimes, humiliating. But, here's the kicker... It's liberating AS SHIT to be aware of my mistakes and to own them. I can point the finger all I want, but it won't get me anywhere productive. It will only keep me prisoner to someone else's actions. I'm not saying others are innocent of poor behavior. I'm just saying that when I'm paying too much attention to someone else's behavior, I'm not paying enough attention to my own.
