I’m heading over to Boomeon to check out your post but I also thought of you and I have nominated your Blog for the Liebster Award, if you would like to accept it the instructions are here: http://crestingthehill.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/liebster-love.html
I wish I could discuss the saboteurs on my blog but I can’t. Suffice it to say it’s taken me 56 years so far to learn that I have to go around them to be who I am out loud.
Cathy, that is such a provocative comment!
Oh yes, I am a firm believer that we are responsible for our problems in life. Directly or indirectly!
Yes, good distinction.
These are so true! Especially comparing ourselves to others. I think it’s just human nature to do it and hard to stop. I know I’m guilty of doing it and my hubby is constantly telling me to stop.
Some habits are just hard to break!
It didn’t take long for me to understand the way of the world. Jealousy and competitiveness were ugly things that I avoided. Then I stopped. Avoiding, that is. I will not be sabotaged, dictated or manipulated. It is NOT a normal way to do business or have relationships. Once I stood up to it…and for it…it never happened again. Go figure.
I guess we have all been prisoners of something at one time or another. thanks!
I definitely do this. It’s hard to realize it until after it’s happened.
Yes, so true. We are usually standing in our sunshine, right?
I think I’ve probably done all of those at one time or another! A big strategy for me is simple but effective – “Never say never.” It makes a huge difference when I avoid limiting myself with preconceived notions.
This is true I think we usually cause our own problems
Yep. Any problems in life are usually caused by ourselves. If not, then somehow we were part of the problem!
I am indeed my own worst enemy much of the time. Time to stop it, right!?
I don’t actually believe that I’m responsible for most of the stuff that goes wrong in my life. On the other hand, my life, at 60, is pretty damn good.
I think everything you do in life is reflected on what we get. Thanks for the great post 😀
I think my husband intentionally sabotages things. But I think he likes the drama and being able to have a victim story.
Interesting view. I don’t know if I agree if we are responsible for our mistakes no matter what.. sometimes yes, sometimes no 🙂
I think sometimes we don’t realize we are the cause of our own problems leading us to point the blame at others. Instead of doing this we should first point the finger at ourselves.
We do sometimes cause ou own problems. That’s why it’s good to think things through.
OH YES! I believe we are our own worst critics! Sometimes, if we just take a step back and look at ourselves in the mirror, we would actually be impressed at the person whom we’ve become!
Yes I am so guilty of this!
