ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY
One of the most hurtful attitudes we can adopt is blaming others for our own mistakes. This isn’t something new, of course. Think about Adam. When God approached him after he’d sinned, this is what he said: “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Adam blamed his wife for his poor choice and he also blamed God for giving him Eve. Poor Adam! In his mind, he was just a victim.
That attitude does not help in moving forward. And this applies in the same way for you and me. If we adopt a “victim” mindset, whether that be a victim of the system, the government or our own spouse, we won’t be able to change what needs to be changed inside of us. We all want to change the world, so let’s start by changing the person in front of the mirror.
Today’s challenge is to stop blaming others for what happens in your life. You are responsible for 100% of your actions and your life. Stop blaming your parents, your teachers, and even those who have hurt you.
DAY 1 CHALLENGE
In a piece of paper, write down a list of the people who’ve hurt you. Spend some time alone with God and, before His presence, make the decision to forgive them and stop holding them accountable for your current emotional, physical, or spiritual condition.
