the blame game

i must admit that it has been an interesting couple of years for me when it comes to relationships, and yet i seem to find myself continuously going in circles. the one thing that has become most evident to me is that everyone (including me) loves to make excuses rather than find or actually have good reasons to do (or not do things).

it is so easy to blame other people for our own mistakes or short-comings. but easy doesn't make it right. i am shocked at how often we make excuses for our behavior or the behavior of others. "i'm sure he's just busy," "i have better things to do," "he treats me so different when it's just the two of us," etc. the list goes on and on. but the bottom line is that if you really stop and think about it you know the truth. it's usually that whatever it is you are making an excuse for was actually either a mistake or a case of mixed up priorities.

when will it end?! when will someone make me a priority and stop making excuses! i'm so tired of letting people off easy or making excuses for them and their behavior. we all need to take responsibility for our own actions. stop being selfish. start growing up.

"there is a difference between interest and commitment. when you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. when you are committed to something you accept to excuses, only results."
