When I worked at Lifeline, I noticed two distinct kinds of people... The sort that blamed everyone and everything for their problems and the other type who blamed themselves for everything and everyone else's problems.
What an awful way to live, to genuinly believe that it's all your fault all the time... Everyone else's failures are yours, every problem exists because there's something wrong with you...
It's a strange paradox... To believe you are the cause and effect of everything is to say, you matter that much, almost god like in your influence on the world... Yet these types of people by deed and motive are the most humble and generous people on the planet.
These people think about everyone else before themselves to the point that when really important things happen, they can collapse under pressure because they just have nothing left to give...
We all need to take care of ourselves, take responsibility for ourselves, not others, keep ourselves strong so we can choose to help others in times of need! Be good to yourself, be kind... Be OK with helping yourself.
