When I tackle personal problems, I have found that I am not satisfactorily rewarded by assigning blame to So-and-So or The System (no matter how deserving they might be of it).  I am rewarded when I accept the responsibility to navigate through or around every obstacle in my way, and achieving a victory.

    Very sound and solid words.
    Just for a laugh put that out on FaceBook and watch the hordes of Excuse-iteers come stampeding in in ‘holy’ outrage to blame everyone but themselves (you could even itemise the most popular excuse)

      Hahaha! I actually try to give people the benefit of doubt (three strikes rule) unless the situation is imminent, but yeah, I personally think the best thing for the collective is to adopt a badass mentality. At the same time, I think bad things happen if people try to force it on others; I think it’s done better with healthy competition and calmly presented logical evidence. Jocko Wilink is my go to on that kind of thing.

        And sometimes we all need to look in the mirror and say ‘What were you thinking of?…If at all!’
        or
        ‘That could have gone better,’
        And then after a little while, look back and say.
        ‘OK. Take Two!’

        Nice analogy with the mirror! Indeed, we need an undistorted reflection to assess and examine.
