Stop blaming others for your predicament.
Adam started this passing the buck game very very early, and it seems to have stuck with mankind.

Again we find Saul in 1 Samuel 15 not only playing the blame game still but rationalizing the issue and putting the blame on the people. He did not face the truth immediately about himself, and it cost him his kingdom.

Whether the issue is between husband and wife, parents and children, immediate family members and other team members, you interact with on your life’s assignment STOP playing the blame game today.
