The Blame Game.
It’s so easy for us to look to others to shoulder our guilt for occurrences in our life. We accuse people around us, be it co-workers, friends, parents, siblings for things that go wrong in our life and also our mate for our inability to sustain a loving relationship. Yet, who’s to blame? Actually no one, because there is a responsibility that each one of us needs to take and it is ours and ours alone.
Who is responsible for the grief and sadness in our life? Who is responsible for the hurdles that we find ourselves facing? Who is responsible for the anger and resentments that we carry within? Who is responsible for the joy and laughter that comes from within us?
The word responsibility consists of two words, mainly response and ability. It is the ability that we have to respond in any way we choose to any given situation.
On so many occasions in our lives, we have been quick to respond with anger, and claim that the opposite person, whoever it may be made us angry. No one can make us angry, except "ourself". If we don't respond to someone's conscious efforts to make us angry, their efforts would be futile.
We are all powerful beings and we always have the choice of how we react and respond to situations and circumstances in our lives. Yet, I have seen in myself and others a tendency to avoid taking the responsibility of actions undertaken by us and trying to place to blame on someone else.
Do we ever relate our point of view with that of the others when confronted with any particular incident or situation? Do we ever surrender to the moment knowing that everything that comes to us is there for us to experience from, learn from, in whatever way we choose?
We are all 100% responsible for our actions. Inspite of that there are some of us who choose to be in misery and pain? Why? Why do we punish ourselves or others for events that have taken place in our life? Aren't we just hurting ourselves by carrying the load of negative feelings within us? Why do we harbor the feelings of anger or hatred in us?
It is better to empty out all the negative feelings and fill our hearts with love, light and positive feelings. It not only makes us feel better but also lightens the environment surrounding us.
With every new day..we shall rise and shine.
