Do you blame others for your miseries or accept them as a part of your fate?

For instance wrong relationships, going bankrupt, losing a legal case and many more. Does someone else's fault become your misery?

I take responsibility for everything that happens to me.

@SW-User That isn't really healthy for you mentally or emotionally, especially in cases where the problems were caused by others or circumstances beyond your control.

@indyjoe I understand what your're saying, but I guess I do believe it's like fate. Some action I performed, or some decision I made, (or a combination thereof) brought me to the point where something happened; therefore, when all is said and done, it's still on me.

@SW-User Alot of what you're saying is not active, but reactive. Many times we take a situation involving others or just something in life itself and take an action or make a decision that at the time we think is right but it reality it's partially or completely wrong...it's not our fault and we aren't to blame, but in hindsight we often beat ourselves up over it and tell ourselves how stupid we were. I understand what you're saying too.🤠 Something we did (and in some cases didn't do) may play a role in what went wrong but it wasn't deliberate or intentional and definitely shouldn't cause us to blame ourselves for the whole mess.

@indyjoe Thx Indy. There's a lot of truth to what you've said. I am usually my worst critic, so I know that plays into the situation too. Something I need to work on I guess. 😉
