The Kindness of Not Blaming

"Remember, you and you alone are responsible for maintaining your energy.  Give up blaming, complaining and excuse making, and keep taking action in the direction of your goals -- however mundane or lofty they may be."
―Jack Canfield

One of my favorite yoga instructors talked about not blaming in class today.  She said that for us to go around blaming others and ourselves detracts from enjoying the beautiful life that surrounds us.  She said that blaming puts us in victim mode instead of letting us focus on what we can contribute and enjoy in each moment.  I have been giving it a try and I confess that it's not easy, but there is kindness toward others and ourselves to be found in letting go of the blame game.
