The Blame Game

Have you ever played this game….

Seems satisfying at first…even fun….then…the more you play…the less fun it gets...instead of wining cool prizes and money you win things like built up resentments and bitterness…
Anytime I have played this game I have lost

It is a hard game not to get sucked into….sometimes you are playing it and you don’t even realize it…
The blame game can be addicting…

It can start small with irritation and frustration toward others…over places and situations…over things we can’t control
Blaming your ex-boyfriend or husband  for being a terrible person, ruining your life, making you miserable…

Blaming your mom for ruining your childhood (mom’s always get the blame)
Blaming your parents for every wrong adult decision you ever made…

Blaming your kids for not listening or doing what they needed to do

Blaming the universe for the rain and gloom
Blaming your friends for taking advantage of you

Blaming everyone for everything

Then as the game progresses you suddenly realize that winning isn’t a good thing….
That the only prize for wining is misery, bitterness and resentment….

Damn right  you probably have the right to blame...
Things to be bitter and resentful about….I am sure you do…we all do…
It isn’t about having the right to be bitter, resentful and blaming others…

It is about understanding that the blame game is a losing battle and that the only one hurt
is you…
Stop playing the blame game…let go…and join me in Monopoly…
