A short YouTube monologue (by Scott Empringham) that urges listeners to stop blaming others and start owning their role in problems. The speaker emphasizes asking whether you are doing everything possible, recognizing recurring patterns as opportunities to change behavior, and using honest self-reflection ("looking in the mirror") to acknowledge your contribution to difficulties rather than defaulting to blame.

Before we blame, before we point the finger, we have to ask ourselves, are we doing everything we possibly can? And the answer is always no. There's always something else we could be doing differently, more of, less of, and bringing the table our best self. If you recognize a pattern and you hopefully learn from the mistake 100% of the time, you'll learn that there's something you could do differently. And it's super easy to put it on. The other person, say, here we go again. It's her. I did that with my business. My partner's a problem. My employees are the problem. She's the problem. My clients are the problem. The question you have to ask yourself is, when you look in the mirror, are you contributing to that difficulty at all? And the answer is yes.
