Love is responsible
It’s about personal responsibility which has been declining in our society - we see it more & more, people less likely to acknowledge their own mistakes. We see it everywhere we look - in politics, business & celebrity headlines. But this problem extends beyond the rich & famous, people everywhere are finding excuses for their actions, including the person I see in the mirror every morning.
We are quick to find fault with others, deflect the blame, defend criticism and justify our motives.
But love doesn’t pass the blame so easily or justify selfish motives. When we come from a place of love we are more concerned with the needs of others than our own. Love takes responsibility for it’s actions, it doesn’t make excuses, it keeps working to make a difference.
What would our world be like today if whenever there was a disagreement, in the Corporate Boardroom or the bedroom, instead of passing the blame, we first admitted & took responsibility for our part in the situation? Love is responsible & willing to admit and correct it’s own faults and errors up front without placing blame on others.
The bottom line is I am right where I am today because of the choices I have made in my life – good or bad, right or wrong, these choices have made me what I am today. I used to play the blame/justify game, but I have learned that it is easier to admit when I have made a mistake, correct it or make amends for the wrong choice and move on having learned something and grown from the situation.
By coming from this place of love, and learning to taking responsibilities for my actions, I don’t live in fear today. It’s amazing how much simpler and enjoyable my life is when I take responsibility instead of blaming & justifying.
Until next time…
