Transcend the Blame Game
We must remember—as a default—that when we point our finger at another, three fingers point back at we ourselves.
We can be contributing to any given problem without even realizing it through…
- Our own confirmation biases, aka our own limited and skewed interpretive lens.
- Not knowing what we don’t even know we don’t even know.
- Not honoring the other sides of the story.
- Our ego protecting us from seeing our own failings… while seeing the failings of others, as if in blazing neon lights.
- Residing in a default paradigm of “victim consciousness”…
or of “life is happening to me”…
or of “I am haplessly at the mercy of my circumstance.”
Truth is:
We are great creators, all.
We are creating our own reality.
AND our shared reality.
Even if we can’t see how so.
Life is happening not TO us…
But by us, through us, as us, and FOR us.
We are gifted, skilled, talented *problem-creators*, us humans.
Once we take this as a given—swallowing our collective pride—we will ultimately solve our problems…
And manifest a world that’s truly worthy of us.
A truth I’ve lived…
And therefore know in my bones...
Life isn’t black or white.
Everything blends, blurs, mixes, melds, and touches.
In a swirl of oneness.
Life isn’t either/or.
Nor are you.
Nor are problems.
Our tendency to think in either/or and in terms of good/bad, right/wrong, and we/they…
It creates a tug-of-war.
This *adds* to the problem we wish to solve.
The tug-of-war can actually become a bigger problem than the original problem was.
How we DEAL with a problem is even more important than the existence of a problem.
How we RESPOND to and regard a problem matters tremendously.
Our very THOUGHTS about a problem shape, sculpt, and mold the problem.
We *create* the problem through our thoughts…And what we focus on grows.
We perpetuate the problem and add fuel to the fire by getting in the blame game.
Whether we are blaming ourselves OR others.
When it comes to problems…
IF we truly want to solve them…
We must immerse in an energy of:
- Love over fear.
- Compassion over judgment.
- Oneness over divisiveness.
- Interconnectivity consciousness over separation consciousness.
Love + Oneness,
