Mindful Monday: Empathy

I love this. Over the years I have lived with people in my life who never took responsibility for their actions; it was always another’s fault.

If one repeatedly blames others and never look to themselves for the issues that person is having, he/she deprives themselves for a chance to grow.

Just as you can’t blame the lettuce for not thriving, you can’t blame others for your failures. If you are continually stymied in life, if circumstances always feel like they are against you, look inside.

If you always use ingredients for cake and get cake but are disappointed with the outcome, change the recipe. By adding different ingredients, you will get a different outcome. Growth can’t happen if you resist change, and it begins with you.
