The next time something goes wrong in your life, instead of allowing yourself to be seduced by the first thought that arises (it must be someone elses fault), see that accusatory thought for what it is--laziness and habit and perhaps much more--and look and question more deeply. Is it actually true? Reason with yourself! Perhaps if I had left home on time, I wouldnt have been in a rush and in the wrong place at the wrong time and had that car back into me when I was driving by. It doesnt mean that the person who backed into me from her driveway wasnt also at fault. What it does mean is that the situation most likely wouldnt have happened had I been attentively taking care of my own business. So much goes wrong in our lives because we arent looking and listening and sensing, and arent acting on these perceptions. We arent present. No blame here; just a simple fact for which each of us is ultimately responsible.--Dennis Lewis Follow Dennis Lewis
