Today I will see no value in holding onto grievances and blaming others or myself.
Love holds no grievances. The moment we decide to hold onto a grievance, to be vindictive, to see value in guilt and blame others or ourselves, conflict and distress rush in and the experience of peace and love disappears. We need to remind ourselves that there is no one to blame. We can choose to remember throughout the day that it is not other people whom we need to change but only the thoughts in our own minds.
Today's lesson like all the daily lessons, can be applied to every aspect of our lives. For example one can apply this principle to a situation where a husband comes home late for dinner again, when a child misbehaves, when a wife forgets to take her husbands shirts to the laundry, when a boss becomes angry at you because of a drop in sales, when your partner has rejected you for another, or when the world seems cruel because you are out of a job. The form makes no difference.
Today I will see no value in getting angry and blaming others for not living up to my expectations.
Today I will let go of self judgments where I have seen myself as inadequate and not worthy of love.
Today I truly want peace of mind with all of my heart. I know that I can achieve that state by letting go of guilt and not blaming others or myself.
