It’s All Your Fault

I cannot count how many times I have been told it was all my fault. It did not matter what age I was, I seemed to have this innate ability to control everything and make it go wrong for someone. That was all they needed to beat me and they did that frequently. Yet, I have learned something that has shaped my life and it seems simple enough and yet takes a lifetime to learn and master.

The thing I have learned is that not only is not my fault, it never was my fault. In learning this little thing I found myself being freed from a lifetime of guilt that I carried for everything that had gone wrong my whole life. It also gave me the freedom to take figure out what I was responsible for and what I was not. That knowledge made things much easier to deal with and ultimately to live with.
