You Only Have Yourself to Blame

Blame

Far too often we find ourselves complaining about our situations rather than taking action to create the life we want to live. We all can get caught in this trap. The next time you find yourself headed towards a pity party, read this poem, count your blessings and start walking towards and working for the life you intend to live.

Yourself to Blame

If things go bad for you

And make you a bit ashamed

Often you will find out that

You have yourself to blame

Swiftly we ran to mischief

And then the bad luck came

Why do we fault others?

We have ourselves to blame

Whatever happens to us,

Here is what we say

“Had it not been for so-and-so

Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”

And if you are short of friends,

I’ll tell you what to do

Make an examination,

You’ll find the faults in you…

You are the captain of your ship,

So agree with the same

If you travel downward

You have yourself to blame

by Mayme White Miller

Excuses get you nowhere. You are captain of your ship. Go and make your dreams a reality.
