I try not to be a blamer, either, but to be honest, I’ve had to pull myself up for it oftener since I started blogging.

It’s interesting watching my kids going through puberty and seeing how difficult it is not to be a blamer in a peer group where gossip and whingeing seem commonplace; the media’s full of it, too, so that makes me more determined to set them in the right direction and point them towards the kind of tools it took me much longer to discover.

I’m glad I posted this piece because it’s been interesting seeing which bits of Christine’s article stood out for each individual.

Like Tess, I’m not an explainer either, but I know people who are, so wanted to read what you were sharing. For me, that helps me to better understand why people act like they do.

I really liked the part, “People who take personal responsibility for their lives do not blame others (or themselves) for their unhappiness, for their life situations, or for their financial state, etc. Instead, they recognize that they created it, and they can un-create or re-create anything. It’s an empowering place to live.” Indeed, it is an empowering place. A place where I hope to stay.

Great post, Janice.
