When you blame everyone else for all your troubles you are miserable as hell but when it finally dawns on you that you have no one to blame but yourself you can have serenity and happiness?

I never blame my troubles on someone else, that's weak.

That is part of the Middle Way that Siddhartha Guatama (the first Buddha) found. One of the steps on the 8-Fold Path is to accept the consequences for what you have done. That brings serenity. Blaming others is a sign of ignorance…and ignorance is the root cause of all suffering.

Because it puts control back in your hands. Even if you always had the ability to change things without knowing it, realizing that you are in charge of yourself makes it real.

Because its everything that we do that may impact others and the things around us. We are responsible for ourselves and the choices we make. I think you find peace within yourself when you can admit it to yourself.

Introspection is a beautiful, yet painstaking procedure. Once accomplished, much like any other task, you feel good about yourself. It is all about closure.

Because you are abandoning the 'victim' mentality. Once you stop feeling sorry for yourself, you can be happy.

Because that is the journey one must take in order to be free....everyone when it all comes down to it makes their own choices and once you realize that you are free...
