Blinded by Blame

Blinded by Blame

For so long I was the champion of the blame game. NOTHING was ever my fault. However, once I discovered I was being blinded by blame, the common denominator in most of my problems, I started to focus inward. Acknowledging I was not flawless, and that I had open wounds was excruciatingly painful; however, the joy I now have from embracing that truth has been worth every second of discomfort.

What saddens me though, is that there are so many sisters and brothers who will never experience this type joy. There are some who will never acknowledge that they were born to make mistakes or that God has already forgiven the indiscretions of their past. They will never find peace within or learn to love themselves. Don't You Dare be One of Them! Take responsibility for your actions and the consequences that come with them. Until you do so, self-love and self-respect will evade you. You will never walk in your true purpose and you and the world will be greatly deprived of all you were meant to be.

It is a simple truth that everyone at some point makes mistakes and bad choices. Why should you be the exception to this fact? A huge breakthrough will happen when you come to understand this...you are not the first person, nor the last, to fall short in the personal behavior aspect.

It is time to move beyond that blaming, change that victim mentality, and give yourself permission to live. Face what is going on in your life with a sense of responsibility, not making any excuses, or blaming others and outside forces for the outcome of what takes place in your life. The consequences are yours to own. You can do it; change your life one decision at a time. The power is in your hands.

So eloquently stated with such encouragement and human compassion. We are only human, born to make mistakes. God is a true forgiving God. Amen!

Great post, and yes we must be the difference of those mistakes and own the consequences.
