Years ago, there was a commercial for some laundry detergent that had<\/strong> a woman trying to get rid of the ring around the collar of her husband\u2019s shirt. You saw the wife holding the shirt in her hand and hearing the voice chanting, Ring around the collar!<\/p>\n

The narrator pointed out a distressed wife trying and trying to get the stains out as he says: You\u2019ve tried scrubbing them out and soaking them out and you still get RING AROUND THE COLLAR!<\/strong> In the commercial, the ring around the collar was seen as telltale evidence of her failure.<\/p>\n

What the ad never addressed was the obvious question: \u201cWhy didn\u2019t that guy wash his neck?\u201d<\/p>\n

All of us have a tendency to fall into the pitfall of blaming others. <\/strong>Not blame for ring around the collar. But blame concerning the mistakes you commit in your life.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s just clear the air. For many of the troubles you face in life, there\u2019s no one to blame but yourself. Now that\u2019s not true for everything. But for many things that is the case.<\/p>\n

This podcast\u00a0\u00a0addresses<\/strong> the tendency we all have to play the blame game as we struggle with The Pitfall of Blaming.<\/p>\n
