IT’S ALL ME: ALL WAYS, ALWAYS!
The most crucial requirement of intentional living, targeted manifestations, creative expression and living a blissful life of purpose is taking responsibility for every condition I encounter.
Too many these days live with the finger of blame firmly pointed outward. Such an attitude will create only anger and vitriol which derails any intent to create joyful outcomes.
Blame is always followed by entitlement which only escalates the furor to true victimization that demands action from others. Nothing but discord, desperation, separation, division and upheaval unfolds from living this way.
Refusing to take responsibility for my life not only catapults me into despair and hopelessness, it destroys any plan, purpose, dream or passion I may have.
Living with deference to responsibility is not living at all. Such a life is tantamount to incarceration in agony.
IT IS ALSO SELF-INFLICTED
This uniquely parallels FORGIVENESS.
A life that deflects responsibility also holds on to self- righteous anger refusing to forgive any perception of being wronged. THAT IS LIKE HOLDING ON TO A HOT COAL EXPECTING OTHERS TO GET BURNED.
When I forgive I release the anger and set myself free. FORGIVENESS IS ABOUT ME, NOT THEM.
Both responsibility and forgiveness are the two most ignored behaviors and BOTH are the key to control of life.
Life is always about me, in all ways, always.
