I need help with this more than I want to

One of my favorite ancient proverbs: He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived. I think it accurately describes the journey to personal and spiritual growth: Level 1: Negative events cause us to look outward at how the world is against us. Level 2: Negative events cause us to look inward at how we might have controlled or better handled a situation. Level 3: Events are no longer judged as positive or negative, but are just allowed to exist. Most of us never reach Level 3. We spend most of our lives in some mix of Level 1 and 2. There is so much power to be found in freeing your mind from the need to judge. In allowing events to exist without the application of a narrative layer. The Paradox of Change says that the only constant in life is change. Entropy is reality. It’s the one thing you can always count on—the only constant. Embrace chaos—be dynamic, flow with it, and avoid judging it.
