The Blame Game
In the game of
blaming, the blamer might appear to be winning at first, but eventually, they
realise they are the true losers. By the time they come to this realization,
they will no longer be in the game to participate again. When we engage in
blame, we stop focusing on personal improvement. Blaming acts as a shield that
prevents people from learning, changing, and growing.
To break free from
the blame game, we should ask ourselves what we gained from blaming others in
the past. The obvious answer may be a momentary sense of relief, but it doesn't
provide us with any sense of responsibility.
Those who play the
blame game may feel a rush of excitement from believing they are not at fault,
but ultimately, they will find themselves isolated and without anyone to blame.
Next time you find
yourself in a situation where you might be tempted to blame someone, take a
moment to hold back and shift from being a blamer to becoming a leader. A
leader who experiences a loss is still respected. In contrast, a person who
plays the blame game may hold the title of a leader on their business card, but
they will never truly be seen as a leader in the hearts of others.
Only the cowardly
blame others to hide their mistakes and shortcomings, while a true leader dares
to acknowledge their errors. Once they accept their mistakes, they become
willing to learn and improve.
