Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Einstein
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. —Charles Swindoll
My problem was ruminating on what was said and done to me. I became insane. Like a hamster running on a wheel going nowhere. If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got. No change. Eventually they become resentment (hate) and burning hell of bitterness (anger).
Anger & hate controlled my life. That’s hell on earth. It took years, so much prayer and discipline to take responsibility for my life, control my mind and learned to regulate my emotions and return to joy and peace. Return to love and grace.
Thank GOD for the power
of forgiveness that freed me to see that I can have a sound mind and self-control. I can love unconditionally.
He (God, my shepherd) leads me to the quiet waters. He restore my soul, one broken piece at a time and lead me on a peaceful path.
Every day I forgive and forgive and forgive, sending love and peace in my prayers and meditation. Think good thoughts about them knowing that hurt people hurt people.
We can begin to grow and mature when we choose to stop the blame game. I too have said and done offensive things to others. If I had dirt thrown at me, I go take a shower, change my clothes and not be angry at the dirt. Take responsibility for my own life – with daily diligence.
Blaming is just another word for hate, pride, self-righteous, condemn, criticize, and gossip. It’s insanity.
Growth begins where blame ends.
