No Blame, No Guilt

Do not blame anyone. 
Blame serves only to amplify and increase the errors.
Do not hold guilt.
Guilt serves only to make you sick and limit your creative correction.

Correcting mistakes comes from feeling open, willing and capable.
Changing our behavior comes from learning, letting go and ability to try something different.
Correcting and changing behaviors, attitudes and choices comes from openness, creativity and willingness.
Where we doubt ourselves or are afraid of making another mistake, we contract and lose our flexibility.

When we are afraid of disapproval, criticism, correction and blame, we shut down and get stuck.
When we are secure in being loved, respected, trusted and appreciated, we open and make new choices.
When we are judging, loathing and ashamed of ourselves, we believe we are incapable and unlovable.
When we are loving, trusting and respecting ourselves, we know we are able and willing to choose again.

Consider the possibility that the usual teachings which engender judgment, criticism, disapproval and fear are all impotent, limiting and ineffective in creating positive change.
Consider the possibility that when we judge or are judged, we get stuck in our errors.
Consider that we are most effective in facilitating change by seeing the best and appreciating the rest.
Perhaps the errors we see in ourselves and others are simply due to criticizing what we do not want.

Appreciation or positive reinforcement is the most effective method of inspiring change in another.
Joy and Love are the best rewards for those who are seeking to do their best.
Let us forgive ourselves for employing ineffective methods of trying to make changes.
Let us erase our repeating past history and incurring stuckness. 
Let us forgive our fears, our guilt and blame.
Let us clear all that blocks our love and appreciation.
Let us choose today to give our best and trust others are doing their best as well.
Let us begin within to blow away the clouds and let the sun shine in us and through us.

Life can be fun, safe and easy when we know we can make the changes we want to see.
Let go and let it be peaceful and happy in your inner weather.
Loving you,  

Betty Lue
