All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. WAYNE DYER , Coauthor of How to Get What You Really, Really, Really, Really Want

You will never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success. If you are going to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth—it is you who took the actions, thought the thoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you to where you now are.

It was you!

You are the one who ate the junk food.

You are the one who didn’t say no!

You are the one who took the job.

You are the one who stayed in the job.

You are the one who chose to believe them.

You are the one who ignored your intuition.

You are the one who abandoned your dream.

You are the one who bought it.

You are the one who didn’t take care of it.

You are the one who decided you had to do it alone.

You are the one who trusted him.

You are the one who said yes to the dogs.

In short, you thought the thoughts, you created the feelings, you made the choice, you said the words, and that’s why you are where you are now.
