I'll make this brief. A lot going on in my head today. Thinking a lot, discussing a lot, and reading a lot...which brings me to my current question, just to throw it out there to remind me, and perhaps others, what building character is really all about.
At what point do you say to yourself, when you're between a rock and a hard place: this (whatever "this" is) didn't just happen to me. I played a significant part in it. This is my life, and whatever I allow to get me down is my bad. When do you admit this? Is it when there's nothing/no one else to point the finger to? Or is it just before you realize that you are capable of anything: at failing miserably, at succeeding beyond measure, and at everything in between?
Just a thought.

I wonder about this same question each time I visit my "top" scam-blog sites...
When I see a new post I laugh as I say to myself, maybe THIS IS THE DAY I see someone take some responsibility and decide to direct their energy somewhere more positive!
I've been disappointed every time...but one day someone will step up, I can feel it!
This is not meant to say that there isn't some blame/anger that may legitimately be directed at the ABA, at a law school, at a pushy parent, etc. However, unless one was absolutely forced, somehow, to sign on the dotted line for law school, that new car, that home they couldn't afford, then that person has to at least bear SOME (probably most) of the responsibility, no?
