When was the last time you blamed someone for something they perhaps did to you? It's such a natural reaction, isn't it? But unfortunately, there is a huge downside to blame. When you blame someone, you completely resolve yourself of any personal responsibility. When you blame someone, you lower your personal energy. When you lower your energy, you invite more low energy feelings and happenings to join the party. And guess what? They come in droves... With party hats on! They're the last ones to leave (you know, the ones you have to kick out.) I can hear it now: But he _______. But she ________. But he didn't ________. But she said she would __________. When you learn to drop the "yeah buts" from you life, the blame seems to fall by the wayside as well... Accept what is... People are human. They will disappoint. It's inevitable. There was only one perfect person and you're not looking at him when you look in the mirror. None of us are. Think about how you feel when YOU are the person who let someone down. It doesn't feel good, does it? It's called wearing someone else's shoes. It's putting yourself in their place and realizing that they were doing the best they could at the time, given the circumstances they were in with the personality/emotions they possessed at that time. Blame is the easy way to do it... Blessing is the hard road... But it's well worth it. Opening up your heart to forgiveness is a tough thing to do... Especially when the thing you're trying to forgive is seemingly unforgivable... That's when calling for Divine Guidance is the only way to truly forgive... For you, for them, for everyone you know... It's not easy. I struggle daily with things that weigh on my heart and cause it to harden a bit. It would be easy to just harden it and shut down. Shut everyone out. Be a cold hearted person. But that's not me. The more I look within, the more I realize that the more I open my heart, the more I risk it being shattered. But it's SO worth it. The wonder of new love... The bliss of my child's hand in mine... The comfort of a friend's shoulder... All so much better with an open heart... And when you open your heart... In walks gratitude... Gratitude is the sister to an open heart. They go hand in hand. Open your heart... Your grateful heart... Open it and see if you can also go from blame to blessing and see how your life takes on new meaning...
