How much of what has happened to you is your fault? And how much of that can be blamed on others?
Usually, when something goes wrong, we are more likely to put the blame on others than to take responsibility.
“Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.”
― Roy T. Bennett,
While pointing fingers at others may be the easier thing to do, not taking responsibility for your own actions will hurt you in the long run.
A listener tells The Best T in the City with Tbose how she got a big wake-up call.
“10 years ago I could’ve left but I left because I thought somebody is going to change. While I was making that decision he said that he was going to keep me in what he was doing,” she tells Tbose.
“At the back of my mind, I was like I should’ve filed for divorce because I was hoping someone else might change.
“I let things slide. I did not communicate my feelings and that was my fault.”
Here’s what people are saying on social media.
I take full responsibility for my feelings! I understand that people and circumstances can affect me. Kodwa I am fully responsible for me. I had to learn the hard way, it is an ongoing learning experience ke #WhenYouFaceYourself
