Is it time that we start looking at our own actions, instead of seeing others for their mistakes and start looking in the mirror and seeing what we are doing wrong.
In my marriages, I was so quick to point the finger and say that it was my wife, instead of seeing that it was me, instead of looking in the mirror, I was quick to say it was others. The jobs I have been laid off from, I was quick to say it was others, they didn't like me, instead of seeing that change starts with me.
In our relationships, our marriages, is it time to stop looking at our partners and saying if only they would do this differently, or if they would do that, it is time that we start making the changes in ourselves.
If you go to church, what do they focus on? Do they point fingers at everyone else instead of saying change starts inside and then it will grow, but if we are not willing to change ourselves how then can we expect others to change? How can we expect our kids to change? How can we expect our partners to change? Change starts with us, it starts with me and in order for others to change, I have to be willing to change, taking responsibility for my own actions, my own failures. I failed in my marriages, I blamed my wife when I should have seen it was me. I blamed her circumstances instead of seeing that it was me.
It is time that we stand up to see the changes that we need to make in ourselves. No one is perfect, but I can't look at others, I can only see where I have failed. Isn't it time to change?
