What Part Of This Do You Own?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi,<\/p>\n

I hope this day is going well for you.<\/p>\n

I am actually going hiking so I have to take off pretty quick.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I recently read this in a printed interview about negativity and choices, and I think there are several lessons in here for all of us:<\/p>\n

“I spent a lot of my 20s just trying to make other people happy, rather than trying to figure out if doing that made me happy. There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it. When you make wrong choices, you have to take responsibility for them: What part of this do I own?” I struggle to figure out what made me make those choices. All I can hope for is that I’ve learned something from it and won’t make the same choices again.”<\/p>\n

———————————————————–<\/p>\n

I especially liked the part that says, “When you make choices, you have to take responsibility for them: What part of this do I own?”<\/p>\n

Because when you’re dealing with a loved one who has bipolar disorder, and they go into an episode, many times they do things that have consequences to them.<\/p>\n

Then you expect them to own up to the consequences to their actions and poor choices (decisions), don’t you?<\/p>\n

And they should.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s all their fault or not, like this woman said, they should still ask themselves, “What part of this do I own?”<\/p>\n

Although, we should all ask this of ourselves when we make poor choices, too. We just can’t always blame it on someone else.<\/p>\n

And that’s another thing she said in this interview:<\/p>\n

“Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it.”<\/p>\n

You know I’m always talking about being positive vs. being negative, and what a bad influence negativity can have on your life, your health, and on your relationship with your loved one.<\/p>\n

So blaming your loved one for what they do in a bipolar episode isn’t the answer either.<\/p>\n

For one thing, many times they won’t even remember what they said or did (they aren’t lying, either).<\/p>\n

For another thing, blaming other people just doesn’t work. It just keeps you negative. And that can keep you sick. So you don’t want that.<\/p>\n

Being positive is the way to go.<\/p>\n

If you’ve made bad choices, turn it around to something positive.<\/p>\n

Do what the woman in the interview says:<\/p>\n

“All I can hope for is that I’ve learned something from it and won’t make the same choices again.”<\/p>\n

Well I have to leave no to get ready. I’ll talk to you later on.<\/p>\n
