Our personal power starts to end the moment we begin to blame someone or something else.
It does not matter what they did, or what happened to us, it only matters that we allow the circumstance to dictate our reaction.
Our power come from our presence and our ability to decide how we choose to respond to any given situation.
Blaming and making either someone else or the situation wrong, merely takes away our ability to move past it.
When we decide how we want to be in the situation regardless of the truth of it, then we are exercising our most important muscle.
It is the muscle of choice. It is the muscle of our spirit. It is the muscle of our divine right to create our life anew.
Resisting what is only causes us pain and keeps us stuck where we are.
To acknowledge the truth of the reality of the situation yet not allow the truth to dictate our behaviour the surest way to build our personal power.
Being present to a situation that is unpleasant is a choice. Being present with compassion and love for ourselves is one of the greatest choices we can ever make.
So let’s stop resisting the reality, let’s stop blaming anyone or anything else, and let’s focus on what we can do instead.
When we shift from blame to choice we empower ourselves beyond measure.
