Ah, the Blame Game. I’m sure you’re very familiar with it. Either you know someone who is the player of the infamous game or you play a part in it yourself.

If so, then you really must read on. One thing is for sure though, nothing good ever comes out of it even if you win the Blame Game. The act of always attempting to avoid confrontation involves issues that are often related to work, love life, family and other social situations is definitely nothing new.

Having this bad habit of not facing your problems head on and not taking responsibility for your own actions can be damaging to the point of dooming yourself to failure.

So if you find yourself at the bottom of the career ladder for as long as you can remember or just having difficulties advancing in life, it’s probably because you’ve become the King of The Blame Game.

So why do you or some people have this habit of pointing fingers at others and never admitting that they’re at fault? It could be a knee-jerk reflex to put the blame on other people because one, you’re scared and two, because you panicked.

It could also be because your parents didn’t teach you how to take responsibility for your own actions. Other reasons include not being able to accept reality and because it’s convenient to point fingers. You would rather not face confrontation because you hate it. The root reason for always blaming other people however, is actually having a massive ego.

For whatever reason, blaming other people should be something that needs to be eliminated from your life if you ever want to be successful and happy. This is because people who blame others all the time are perceived to be those who have no control whatsoever on their life as well as their actions. You are also seen as someone who is selfish and have low self-esteem.

So unless you start taking matters you are responsible for into your own hands, you will always find it difficult to advance in many aspects of your life be it in work, relationships and other social situations.

Swallowing your pride will not kill you but letting your ego get the best of you will definitely take a huge toll on your life. It may not hurt you physically but in the long run, it’s emotionally and psychologically damaging.

Self-improvement begins with admitting you were wrong about something and working on it from there. Failures are inevitable so until you learn to accept them and learn from faults, you’ll be repeating them and go nowhere in life.
