Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains! Unknown
People crack me up. (I am people so I crack me up too.) We behave and speak in ways that create drama around us, that create high maintenance expectations, that stir pots and cause thunder and then when it all breaks loose we get huffy and blame everyone but ourselves. We are outraged that "such and such" happened or that "so and so" ended the relationship, etc. REALLY? What did we expect? We are the problem.
Let's all just take a step back and get a little perspective.
WE ARE THE PROBLEM.
When we create the drama with our behavior and words then we are the problem. When we expect people to treat us with white gloves and silver settings (i.e. we are high maintenance) then we are the problem. When we stir pots and cause thunder with our treatment of other people, our poor work ethic, our "it's all about me" attitude then we are the problem. When we refuse to look honestly at ourselves and do a little examination on a consistent basis then we are the problem.
So when it all breaks loose because we caused the problem we can't get upset with the fallout. Grab an umbrella, go out into the storm, and take ownership for what you did. And then learn from it and quit being the problem.
