THE GOOD IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

I like to think of God as a no-fault insurance policy. If we’re into blame and shame, we’re into ego-victory thinking…there is no spiritual growth there.

Who is responsible for the decision we made to do, to say, to act, to not act? Remembering always that in our day-to-day living, no one can make us do anything. The choice is ours to make...and, thus, to take responsibility for...and there's the no-fault part. Taking responsibility promptly for our own decisions eliminates blame and shame.

So we get to choose...whose side will we line up with, ego or God? And why is that such a hard choice when going with ego always carries a 50-50 chance of whipping back and slapping us silly...and going with God always carries a 100% chance of our hurting no one. One (and possibly the only) reason is going with God usually takes so much longer to learn the result. 

Why wait an unknown period of time to not get hurt when we can hurt ourselves in a minute? Not to mention the others we hurt in that same minute...and, oh yeah, here comes our amends part. Some choice. 

Thank You.
