Affirmation: “Today, I stop placing blame. By doing so, I start taking greater personal responsibility for how I am feeling. As I take greater responsibility for my thoughts and how I feel, the world outside of me begins to lose its power and control over me. I now see and understand that the more I blame this world and those in it, the more of my power I give away. The more power I give away, the more control the world seems to have over how I feel. Now, having taken greater responsibility for my thoughts, it is I who control the amount of peace or mental anguish that I experience. By doing so, I am no longer held captive by this world’s whims. Now I acknowledge that it is not what “others” do that affects my state of mind, but how I react to what they do that affects me.”
Today, we stop blaming the outer world for how we feel. Now we know that if we blame the world, we give our power away to it. Now we know that because our journey is a perfect co-creation with God, every moment of it will be used for our good — to help us grow, heal and awaken. Now we know we can control the thoughts we think. Understanding this, we take full responsibility for our thoughts and thus for our life. We now know that being Love’s children, we are here to create as God created, through love. Forgiveness and compassion are expressions of Love. Now, if we find ourselves lost in the blame game, we will no longer condemn ourselves or others. Instead, we will simply recall the truth in us, align with our loving nature, and choose forgiveness and compassion.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.

Daily Inspiration: February 7. Ending the Blame Game – Condensed Version








Dear James , I understand what today’s reading means, but I have to tell you and you probably know this already. Yes it is up to us to react in not letting problems and what other people say affect us , but this is a really hard thing to do when you don’t want to be abused any more. When you refuse to let this happen anymore. The decision to walk away is not easy especially when it is family. So when it is my reaction to not speak to someone who abuses, only time and God will control my thoughts and d help me cope .. and I wait for that.. thank you for your words.
Thank you Jesn for your comment.
Do what brings you peace and you will have peace.
Being all One, everyone we have ever met forever lives within us. Relationships don’t end, they just change forms. How are people living within you when you think of them, with peace or pain? And so practice, no matter what they have done to you, when you think of them, offer them your compassion, forgiveness, mercy and grace. Ask God to offer them His blessings, to light the way for them, to help lead them to clarity, healing and peace.
Being all One, offer them want you would want God to offer you. Do so and your thoughts of them will not poison you, but bring you peace. Your thoughts of them will not punish you but through forgiveness set you forever free. Your thoughts of them will not sink you in deeper darkness and despair but will help make you the light of the world that God created you to forever be.
Peace. JBC
