If you're blaming something or someone else for the way you are, then that person, those people, those circumstances or those energies, are going to have to change in order for you to get better; that's most likely never going to happen. It's also a way to manipulate other people.

You must make a daily effort to look upon others without condemnation. Every judgment takes you away from your goal of peace. Your ego loves your judgments, because with them you remain in a constant state of anguish and remorse. Keep in mind that you do not define anyone with your judgment; you only define yourself as someone who needs to be judged.

Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.

The qualities of creativity and genius are within you, awaiting your decision to match up with the power of intention.

The more you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others.

If you're going to change a habit, you must BE the treatment.

I'm not saying that a child who was abused or beaten or abandoned made that happen, but your reaction to it is always yours.
