“Don’t call the world dirty because you forgot to clean your glasses”
In a world full of chaos, you may find yourself blaming the world around you. You may find yourself blaming your past. You may find yourself blaming the people who hurt you or caused you self-harm. You blame the world for your inner and outer appearance. Why you are the way you are or why you act the way you act. You blame others for not achieving and flourishing in your fullest potential. You blame others for not loving and genuinely feeling again. You lock your own heart away, so no one sees the real you. You give up on your dreams and goals because you’re too busy blaming the world around you to keep going. So, there you are, stuck and angry at the world. All because of blaming.
You shouldn’t blame the world for every little thing, and you also shouldn’t blame yourself for every little thing. Stop blaming less and start taking responsibility for your own actions. Blaming is a serious disease, and it will be the death of you if that’s all you truly live by. Do you really want to spend your whole lifetime blaming every person that did you wrong? Do you really want to blame the world and your past mistakes for not stepping out into the world and being who God destined you to be? Or do you want to release the burden of constant blaming and start living for yourself in every way and every aspect?
Take a moment to reflect on yourself because it’s nobody’s fault that you can’t love again and give affection. It’s nobody’s fault that you can’t get that dream job you want. It’s nobody’s fault that you can’t trust again and be open with the world. It’s nobody’s fault that you can’t cheerfully laugh and be truly happy again. It’s nobody’s fault that you can’t live again and be yourself because the truth is, you can once you start looking at yourself from the inside and knowing that blame won’t get you to where you need to be. It won’t only keep you in a stagnant place of misery and constant doubt and an eternity of blaming.
The sad truth is that the only person that is keeping you from being you is you, because you’re too busy blaming every little thing and every little person around you. All these things are a choice that you must make, not the world. Yes, the world is a scary place, it’s ruthless, it’s vengeful but sometimes it is just a dirty glass. Maybe it is what we perceive of the world and a little cleaning can go a long way.
“Sometimes you have to blame yourself because you knew better.”
