When you can only blame yourself

“It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made it.” Sophocles

Sometimes we make the wrong decisions and then things go belly up.  When this happens, take responsibility for your mistakes.  Don’t blame everyone else or look for the reason somewhere else.  Admit your mistake, learn from it and move on.  

Anyone can make a mistake, but not everybody accepts responsibility for their own mistakes.  It takes a certain amount of bravery to take responsibility for your mistakes, but when you do, it restores your credibility.
