The Seventy-Fifth: It Ain't Me, Babe

I am frequently astounded at the amount of times I am not willing to put the blame on myself. I find other ways, other people to say "it was because of that that I didn't do this". It's so hard to stop using something as an excuse for not doing anything and finally taking back control of what it is that you want to be doing. I've found that when you can blame someone or something else, you don't have to take any sort of responsibility for failing. In fact, you can accept zero responsibility for not even trying, when the only person you're hurting is yourself.
