“IF YOU’RE INVOLVED IN A MESS, LOOK AT YOURSELF FIRST.”
(excerpted from “My Simple Quotes to Live By” – available at http://www.amazon.com [available on Kindle, too!] and http://www.GoodShortBooks.com).
It’s very easy to point fingers, to dole out blame. But, if you’re smart and fair-minded, you’ll look at the part YOU played in the mess. What did you say? Could you have said it differently? What did you do? Could you have done it another way, a better way?
It’s not what you say–it’s HOW you say it.
It’s not what you do–it’s HOW you do it.
And you MUST be willing to apologize if you find yourself guilty!!

This is such a challenging thing to do but something that is to our benefit. Point and assigning blame to someone or something else takes accountability away from us. Which means sooner or later we will repeat the same behavior again.
