Thought of the Day - Go Beyond Blame and You'll Find Power

 Most of us react negatively when we feel blamed. We feel like victims and we give up. But blame is going only half-way - when we go all the way we find power.

What is blame really?



When someone says or we feel like we have caused something undesirable, we are assuming that we have the power to create something. Which simply means, we have power beyond the situation. We have done something that no one else could stop or negate.

Now if we take this same thought further, this same power can be used again - to uncreate or create something even bigger than what we created in the first place. If we take this power further down the road from the first stop which is blame and take it to responsibility - we can take it upon ourselves to uncreate what has been done, or even better, to create what we have done.

Next time you feel blamed, take the power further. Go beyond feeling like the victim. Think responsibly and ask - what can I do with my power? What can I uncreate? Or what bigger and more beautiful thing can I create?  

Every time there is something pinned on you, realise that it only means you have the power to change things. It's freeing, empowering and creative.
