When you blame others, you give up your power to change. Blame is seductive because it makes us right and them wrong. For a moment, it feels good to say, “It was their fault,” but in the long run holding on to blame only hurts you and does absolutely nothing to help your personal growth. In fact, it keeps you stuck. And, admittedly, there are some things that appear to be so egregious and so unforgivable that it seems impossible to not default to blame. But, blame isn't the solution in any circumstance because when you blame others, you avoid seeing the truth about yourself. When you focus on what someone else did wrong, you are not able to see your part and learn about what you need to do differently going forward; you refuse to see and learn from the lesson in that situation and that is what you and I are here on this earth to do. Today, stop blaming people, places and things for your own unhappiness or for any other negative feelings you have chosen to hold onto. Today surrender and look for the lesson. If you are willing to surrender to the lessons and love yourself through the most painful situations, you will rise as warrior, you will become stronger, wiser and will be able to move forward. Today, it is time to take your power back. Today, when you feel the need to blame, listen to yourself and then ask yourself: What do I need to learn from this? Then listen and love yourself enough to learn the lesson and move on. You are more powerful than you know. Reclaim it today by not blaming others.

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. I let go of any feelings of guilt, shame or blame. I reclaim my power now and I lovingly create my own reality and everyone in it. I am safe. It is only change and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
