Blame On, Blamers!

You know what drives me nuts? Lack of accountability.

If you decide to open your mouth and say something, or decide to put your thoughts into action, guess what?  It’s time to take responsibility for the outcome!

I will make a point of accepting responsibility for what I say, do or write. And if you read this blog, you know I’m an idiot and I post on ridiculousness.

Don’t get me wrong, I do care when something I say or do hurts someone’s feelings, I’m not that heartless, but I think people are too sensitive, to quick to jump on the defensive.

If you begin a statement with “It’s not my fault …” then I’m going to tell you it is your fault, you’ve made some poor vocabulary choices. 

"It's not my fault I'm late, my alarm didn't go off", "It's not my fault, I ran out of gas"

Here's an idea, let's find someone to blame for everything that isn't our fault shall we?

I’m generalizing, I know I am, and I make things too simple, I often do that, but it’s easier for me to compartmentalize everything. Life doesn’t have to be complicated.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and able to express said opinions as they see fit.

You’ve been given the “Freedom of Speech”, which is the freedom to speak without censorship. Don’t forget, you’ve also been given the “Freedom to listen to whatever the hell you want to listen to” and the “Freedom to believe in whatever you deem worthy to believe in”.

If something someone says offends you, say something, or walk away. There are times when you have to listen, if I don’t like what I’m hearing, I mentally tune out or draw on my phone.

“I’m just being speaking the truth” doesn’t necessarily mean someone IS speaking the truth. It’s an opinion, or their version of the truth, so take it as it is.

I’m rambling, I can hear it, but this is what I feel like ranting about and since it’s my blog, I can do what I want. (Wonder if this will take my readership from 2 down to 1? JULES & LIZ, STAY WITH ME!!).

ANYWAY …..

You choose to open your mouth and say what you say.

You choose to put into action your random thoughts.

You choose to react to situations the best way you know how.

Every day we make thousands of millions of choices. Own it! Be accountable for yourself, and the world will be a much greater place.
