One of the most wonderful things we learn when we truly practice A Course in Miracles and live the teachings, day by day and moment by moment, is that life is so much better when we take responsibility for what we see and what we feel.
When we take responsibility for our thoughts and the resulting feelings, instead of saying, “you made me feel this way” then we actually feel better.
We naturally feel better when we accept our responsibility instead of blaming others or feeling like a victim.
It seems counter intuitive from an ego perspective. How could saying, “I chose this” feel better than “they did it to me” when we’ve made a very painful choice? But it actually does.
We learn to take 100% responsibility and 0% blame.
Blame is just attack. It’s judgment. It’s complaint. It’s unloving and unkind and definitely unhelpful.
When we can take responsibility we’re taking our power back. Feeling like a victim feels far worse – although many, if not most people have trained themselves to take the victim role instead of the responsible one. It is the way of the world.
Right now, in the newspaper headlines we see adults, people who have lived many years, have had wealth and power, and they’re telling everyone they’re the victim. They prefer it to accepting responsibility for their choices and that’s something I really understand because that used to be my choice until I learned just how much better it feels to say, “I did it. I decided. It was my choice.”
We just won’t believe that there’s more Peace accepting responsibility than blaming others until we actually try it out.
The teachings of ACIM are so helpful. They really are the way out of hell, when you LIVE them and practice them. It seems like that might be hard, but it’s not.
It’s a pathway to heaven on earth.
