Let Go of Blame

Worry, anger, fear, depression, etc. Name the upsetting emotion that has troubled you to see that you stopped at its perceived cause. Something happened to trigger the emotion, and once it was triggered that something took on the blame for the emotion.

But what if that thing is not truly the blame? And what if holding the emotion is blocking your sight from seeing the true culprit?

The Tao says, color blinds the eye and thoughts weaken the mind.

In the spirit of the Tao, consider releasing the object of the blame so you can see the deeper cause of the emotion.

Today as you experience an upsetting emotion, remind yourself, “I am never upset for the reason I think.”

In 2018, I read and reflected on the Tao Te Ching,and shared daily inspirations to inspire improved wellbeing. After my fifth reading, I transitioned to A Course in Miracles. Now, we continue our wellbeing journey together with ACIM in a Tao state of mind.

Today’s Tao reflection was inspired by Lesson 5 of ACIM.
