Hmmm. Who wants to admit that they are not the shining star of personal responsibility? Not me. That would be admitting that I; make mistakes (a lot), have made selfish decisions that hurt others, blame, manipulate, or might have to change. No way buddy.<\/p>\n<p>So many of us claim that we take responsibility all the time and can even name a time when we did. At least one time. However, how often have you allowed yourself to count up the number of times the word &#8220;you&#8221; came out of your mouth way before the word &#8220;I&#8221;. And that doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;<em>I<\/em> did that because <em>you<\/em> made me angry&#8221;. That means, how quickly does your finger raise up (literally or figuratively) to zero in towards someone who is not you?<\/p>\n<p>Listen, we are all guilty of summoning the power of &#8220;it&#8217;s not my fault&#8221;. And maybe there are times that the fault line is some distance from you. I would guess that a majority of the time <strong>You<\/strong> finds its way out of your mouth way before you realize what is happening. Careful with that pointer finger. How does the saying go, &#8220;When you point the one finger at someone, there are 3 pointing back at you&#8221;.
