Beyond blaming lies opportunity, freedom, and power. When we blame we convince ourselves that someone is wrong, bad, or incompetent. If we stay stuck in this place of blaming and complaining, there is no real change. We are unable to see real opportunities for growth and change. We become victims of people and circumstances. As a victim we have no choice.
When we move beyond blaming we find freedom--freedom from guilt and fear. We are free to move forward. We find that we are powerful. As powerful people we recognize that we have choices--choices about what to think, what to say, and what to do.
How do you move beyond blaming? You decide. You shift your focus from what you don't like and don't want to what you do like and do want. Then you begin planning how to get there. You might not know exactly how you'll get there, but you start anyway. Envision what you want and take the first steps.
