It seems "defects of character" and "bad behavior" and "should" and "fault" and oh so many more words are verboten in today's world. Apparently because they make us feel guilty. Today, that feeling, guilty, seems also to be verboten. Well, nine times out of nine we are guilty of whatever it is for which we're trying to find either a pretty description...or somebody else to blame.
It is pure fact that bad business gets us bad business. Bad business is not an "inadvertent error in judgment," and allowing our self to believe it as that only prolongs our inside agony. We will scramble mentally for somebody, something, some place outside of our own self to blame until we own up to our own bad behavior...not that time, not that place, not him/her/them, but our self. Until we claim it, until we own our bad behavior and hang our name on it, we'll not know peace.
Not owning up is how we become carriers. Carriers of our own misery. We are the source of all our woes. Any upset, mental gyration, justified peeve that we have now, had then, ever will have started with our making "a decision based on self that later placed us in a position to be hurt."
When the cure for our misery is so simple, why do we cling to our ego's way. Ego is utterly incapable of admitting its mistake so it must find excuses and scapegoats and justifications. There. That's the exact reason we must learn to love our ego...it is utterly incapable of being anything but what it is. Hug it and kiss it and quick turn to God. Which is the only thing more powerful within us than our ego, according to me.
We have come to believe that God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf. Let him.
Thank you.
