Why We’re Responsible…

We are punished by our wrongness, not for it. – Vernon Howard

wrongness

What is wrongness? It’s incorrect thinking. Faulty assumptions. Mistaken beliefs. It’s our inability to get along with others because of our expectations of them. It’s also when we easily get disappointed. Or forget our divine heritage. Wrongness is what keeps us from being truly happy.

our thinking

Our happiness is directly affected by the quality of our thinking and the actions we take based on that thinking. We aren’t punished by divinity but by the universal laws that we might break. Ultimately we alone are responsible for our well-being.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware that I’m responsible!
