Acceptance

It's all on you

  • You are partially to blame when others are at fault, and you’re not there to correct them and help them. It’d be better if you don’t look for weakness in others and instead fix your own but if someone is slipping up, help them improve. Give yourself some credit and understand that you can make a difference in other people’s life.

  • People won’t always behave as per your expectations. Try talking to them about their behavior, or maybe check yourself as to “why you’re being so sensitive.” We all make mistakes, and when someone does something wrong, then don’t forget everything they did right. Learn to let it go because sometimes it can be a one-off case, and there’s no need to get too emotional.

  • It’s easier to blame others for your shortcomings, but you can’t always blame a teacher for a student’s failure, just like you can’t blame a doctor for a patient’s disease. It’s good to ask for help, but you can’t always expect others to help you, and it’s your job to help yourself.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours
