You must not for one instant give up the effort to build a new life for yourself. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.

- Daisaku Ikeda

Something else I've learned is that it hurts more to hide from Life than it does to open the door. Open that door!!

isn't it funny, we humans spend so much time looking for something "out there" to come and change or fix or..... "what's 'uncomfortable' in here", when going straight to the source, ie: self examination, is where you have to end up if you want change your silly self. We're real good at beating around the bush and figuring out other people's problems and doing every procrastination we can come up with to avoid the simple fact, the only person we can change is ourselves. The only person who can change us is oursleves.

Biting that bullet, whew, I had to let go of blame.

EXACTLY! We want it to come to us! So often, we're afraid to put forth any effort to change ourselves that opportunities pass us up! But we keep waiting, hoping that something will fall in our laps. It just doesn't happen that way. Dreams, self-realization all take ACTION on our part!
