We often create situations and then we give our power away by blaming another person for our frustrations. And, when you blame another, you give our power away because in reality you are placing the responsibility for your feelings on someone else. Today, begin to become aware that blaming other people for how you feel is a waste of time. People in your life may behave in ways that trigger uncomfortable responses. However, they didn’t get into your mind and create the buttons that have been pushed. Today, begin to take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions. In doing so, you begin to is master your “ability to respond.” In other words, you learn to consciously choose rather than simply react. Today, consciously choose to stop looking for something or someone to blame for how you feel. Know that in any moment you have a choice on how you choose to react and what you choose to believe. Today, choose to forgive and consciously reclaim you power to create your own reality.

Just for today, I release the need to blame anyone, including myself. We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge understanding and awareness that we have right now. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to respond and what I choose to believe about myself. No person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. And so it is.
