BLAMING OTHERS WILL TAKE YOU NOWHERE

I discovered long ago that the world we live in is full of blamers who are always pointing accusing fingers at people, things, and events that are 'responsible' for their misfortunes and failures.
I have noticed that people just blame anything or anybody in sight.
They blame their parents, their teachers, the government, the economy, the weather, their wristwatches, their cars, and literally everything in sight.
The truth is that all of us are prone to putting the blame for our inefficiency and failure upon society, environment, early training ---- any place but our own precious selves.
It is so convenient to blame others but ourselves.
To many of us, we can never be the ones at fault, somebody just has to take the blame for whatever happens to us when actually our own indiscretions, carelessness, and naivety may have been the cause for our condition.
Strangely, you hardly hear of people crediting others for their successes. Most often, they prefer to take all the credit when things go well.
They tell anybody who cares to listen how intelligent and hardworking they are.
The truth is that most people are too proud to credit someone else for their successes.
Excuse me, have you ever thought of blaming someone for your successes? Just think of these; it was your parent's fault to give birth to you or else you will not be where you are today.
Where will you be if they had aborted you? They certainly deserve good blame.
It's your teacher's fault to instruct you by teaching you what you didn't know.
Just think of all these wonderful people ---- friends, relations, co-workers, spiritual leaders, neighbors, and a host of others (some of whom you may never know or meet) who gave you a helping hand in one way or the other. Have you been magnanimous enough to ever blame them for that?
Why do you criticize them for their many mistakes and shortcomings? If you must play the blame game, blame them rather for their meaningful and positive contributions to your life.
Remember, failure or success is a function of the choices you make and the people who make you.
Until you stop blaming others and start taking personal responsibility for your life and situation, true success or the fulfillment of your dreams and goals may remain a mirage to you forever.
It is so easy to blame someone and refuses to take responsibility for ourselves. But if you keep doing this, you will never go far.
The next time you feel the urge to blame, find someone to blame for your successes or make up your mind to take responsibility for your life.
I hope I have been able to bless someone reading this post.

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

My 96-Hour Goose Chase

A few days ago, I embarked on a journey I never imagined I would experience. It all started with a simple goal: to clear a small debt that had been weighing on me. I thought that taking a small loan would be the best solution to get back on my feet and settle everything. Little did I know that this decision would lead me into a 96-hour goose chase that cost me time, money, and trust. I began my search for a loan online, and after some browsing, I came across a Finance company that seemed legitimate. I reached out to them, eager to resolve my situation. After completing all the necessary forms on their website, they informed me that my credit score was low and, therefore, I wouldn't be approved for the loan unless I paid an upfront amount equal to one month's repayment (450 AED). They assured me that this amount would be refunded once the loan was processed and credited to my account. Naively, I rushed to the ATM to deposit the requested amount. Here's a breakdown of what fo...
