Responsibility, Not Blame
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure
until he begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs
The impulse to blame something or someone is foolishness.
There is nothing to be gained in blaming,
whether it be others or oneself.
- Epictetus
When you are impeccable, you take
responsibility for your actions,
but you do not judge or blame yourself.
- don Miguel Ruiz
It is an act of great Courage to forsake all Blame.
Take responsibility for your whole life -
regardless of circumstances.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past.
Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
- John F. Kennedy
Today's affirmation:
I accept that no one else has ever been to blame
for either my joy or my suffering.
The entire cause of all my joys and all my sufferings
is my own emotional response to the events of my life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
