Who's to Blame?

I have written in a journal for years.  Most of the journals have been tossed so that no one could read them and laugh at my childish dreams and unfulfilled goals. 

I was reading through some old journal entries that still remain and noticed a disturbing pattern.  Over and over, year after year I wrote about how I had gotten in a rut and it was time to dig myself out of that deep hole.  Another interesting fact kept showing up that disturbed me even more.  I was good at blaming others in my life for not successfully digging out of that hole.

Who is really to blame if my life is not what I want it to be???

God?
Obahma?
Democrats?
Rich people? Poor People?
Christians? Muslins?
Fate?
Circumstances?
Money or lack of?

No, just little ol' me.  How could I be so foolish as to blame someone else?  The easy way out, I guess.

"You must take personal responsibility.  You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.  That is something you have charge of."  Jim Rohn

You can't have an interesting life sitting on the couch watching television or reading books.  The best times involve getting outside your comfort zone and doing something difficult or connecting with someone.  Life can be so exhilarating but it is all up to me.  I just have to get out of this tight confiding cocoon and spread my wings.  Try stuff I wouldn't normally do.  Fun can turn up in unexpected places and I am going to find it.

As Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast.  If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."
