For instance, let's say you think you're too fat. If you want to blame it on McDonald's cheeseburgers, then write that down. Perhaps you just don't normally feel well. If you want to blame that feeling on a bad doctor or on the pollen in the air, then write that down. Maybe you can't find a suitable partner. If you want to blame that on the argument that \"men are creeps,\" then write that down. Now look at your list. Ask yourself if you are any different now that you know exactly what or who to blame, and then ask yourself if that has helped you come up with a more constructive program to solve your problems. Not a very positive picture, is it? Wouldn't it be better simply to decide to eliminate all blame from your life and focus instead on what you can do to rid yourself of the unhappiness that afflicts you? Wouldn't it be better to evaluate all the stones that you are carrying in your own bag of life--your stones of resentment, anger, and spite? Blaming will not change you. It only gives you some shallow justification for continuing to look outside yourself, rather than turning inward and rebuilding your life.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Art Berg" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/art-berg/try-this-exercise-make-a-list-of-whatever-is-going-wrong-in-your-life/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/283/art-berg-16759_ask-yourself_try-this-exercise-make-a-list-of-whateve_1443886.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/283/art-berg-16759_ask-yourself_try-this-exercise-make-a-list-of-whateve_1443886.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/283/art-berg-16759_ask-yourself_try-this-exercise-make-a-list-of-whateve_1443886.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Try this exercise: Make a list of whatever is going wrong in your life, from the biggest events to the most…” — Art Berg", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/blame-life/art-berg/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/blame-life/art-berg/", "name": "Blame Life Quotes by Art Berg", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/blame-life/art-berg/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/283/art-berg-16759_ask-yourself_try-this-exercise-make-a-list-of-whateve_1443886.jpg" }, "description": "1 Blame Life quotes by Art Berg.
