from blame to joy

Is your life somebody's fault? Or, is it your creation?  You were given both talents and constraints.
You were created with a purpose. What have you chosen to do with that?

As long as you are blaming other people, or blaming yourself, you are using your power to make yourself powerless. You are creating a game that you cannot win.

Refuse to blame and change the game. This is your life, not someone else's. You don't have to prove anything. Find out who you are and be that. Your life is a gift and everything that has occurred has contributed to your growth, to your beauty, and to your knowledge.

There comes a time when the life you have defined becomes too small for you. It's like too much clothing on a hot day. Throw off your unneeded clothing and let yourself breathe. Release your blaming and let yourself expand toward your joy. Your joy blesses the world.
