Do not be afraid of the ego. It depends on your mind, and as you made it by believing in it, so you can dispel it by withdrawing belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you will preserve the belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the ego’s existence you will have laid aside all anger and all attack, because they come from an attempt to project responsibility for your own errors. But having accepted the errors as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the Holy Spirit to be undone completely, so that all their effects will vanish from your mind and from the Sonship as a whole. T-7.VIII.5:1-6

There are responsibility avoiders and responsibility acceptors. Some people love to blame their unhappiness on others. This is a huge mistake. The only person responsible for your own happiness is you. Stop playing the victim and become an agent of your own peace and joy by bringing your will into alignment with God’s will for you.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which resides within our own minds not outside in the world of the ego where we project it.
Today it is suggested that we consider how we can take responsibility for our own state of mind and stop blaming others for our unhappiness.
