Casting blame.

Something so easy and natural that we’re more naturally inclined to blame than we are to take responsibility upon ourselves. I’m sure y’all know by now it’s our egos at the root of the selfish choice to blame.

What would it look like for us to embrace “radical responsibility” for everything that happens around us and to us? What good could come of it?

What would a week of not-blaming look like?

How about just one day?

One hour?

One moment…

… then another, and another…

(See y’all tomorrow)
