You can’t talk your way out of problems you behaved yourself into. Stephen Covey
Have you ever heard someone say I just couldn’t help myself. They made me do it. It wasn’t my fault. All excuses for lack of accountability and responsibility. No one makes us do anything. We make choices, we make decisions. We choose how to act and react to situations and people. So, don’t try to talk yourself out of problems that your behavior got you into. Fess up. Step up. Admit the mistake. Take responsibility. Get forgiveness or apologize and move on. Hopefully to better decisions and choices the next time. Just don’t blame others for your behavior.
