Know Who You Are.

You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.

We are all born with shortcomings. Then, of course, we accumulate additional shortcomings through our environment and our reactions to our environment. So flawed as we are . . . just know that there is hope for each person who seeks to accept the flaws. Blaming our parents, our teacher, our boss, our friend or spouse fails to move us forward. Blaming others never allows for self acceptance. Take your eyes off the blame game. The key is to accept your flaws, grow in compassion for others and look toward your creator for guidance. Create a compassion for others and allow the gentle part of who you are begin to emerge.
