~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

02/5 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
If I am troubled, worried, exasperated or frustrated, do I tend to rationalize the situation and lay the blame on someone else?  When I am in such a state, is my conversation punctuated with, "He did..., "   "She  said...,"  "They  did.."?  Or can I honestly admit that perhaps I'm at fault.  My peace of mind depends on overcoming my negative attitudes and tendency toward rationalization.  WILL I TRY, DAY BY DAY, TO BE RIGOROUSLY HONEST WITH MYSELF?

TODAY I PRAY
May I catch myself as I talk in the third person,  "He did..." or  "They promised..." or  "She said she would..."  and listen for the blaming that has become such a patter for me and preserves delusion.  May I do a turnabout and face myself instead.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Honesty is the only policy.
