Blaming is an excuse
Blaming anyone or anything besides the person in the mirror relieves you of your duty to do better. This is hard to hear for the person who believes his blaming is legitimate. But when you blame, you give your power to get better away by saying "they are responsible for…
Loving yourself to love someone else.
Getting into a relationship to fill a hole in ourselves doesn't work. Two empty people does not = filling each other's cups. YOU must be FULL in order to have something substantial to pour into someone else's cup, and vice versa. Until we find love and connection within ourselves and…

I found my precious 2 and a half year old grandson regularly proclaiming “I can’t” when he is “stuck” with something and can’t move forward. My immediate & positive response of “you can” with a little bit to guidance on how to solve the problem lights up his face and gets him moving forward positively.
