Blame Quote by Wayne Dyer

“If you're blaming something or someone else for the way you are, then that person, those people, those circumstances or those energies, are going to have to change in order for you to get better; that's most likely never going to happen. It's also a way to manipulate other people.” quote by Wayne Dyer
