I’m grateful that I’m responsible and accountable for how I treat others. Nobody can MAKE me treat someone any particular way. If I’m kind, it’s because I choose to be kind. If I’m compassionate, it’s because I choose to be compassionate. If I’m rude, it’s because I choose to be rude. If I’m hateful, it’s because I choose to be hateful. There is no justification for the way I treat others except for saying I’m responsible and accountable. When I hold myself responsible for how I treat others, I empower myself to make choices that will feed my soul with the energy of love, abundance, and peace. I also become accountable when I don’t treat people with the amount of respect that I like. It’s none of my business how someone else treats me, that is their energy they have to live with. What matters is that I’m being responsible for how I treat them.

The better I treat myself, the better I treat others. The more of my past that I face, accept, and heal, the better I am to myself and others. I’ve also learned that I don’t have to carry the weight of how other people treat me or anyone else, but I DO HAVE TO carry the weight of how I treat others. I have to live with the person I am and the choices I make. When I hold myself responsible and accountable for how I treat others, it consciously reminds me to pay attention to what I’m putting out there. Just another wonderful thing to be grateful for.

Today, I commit to being responsible and accountable for how I treat others. If I hear myself starting to justify my poor choices, I will take responsibility and hold myself accountable. That is how I will change my behavior. That is how I will align myself with love, abundance, and peace. When I hear myself treating people with love, I will celebrate that love in my soul and be grateful for it.

It’s really not as complicated as our human minds like to make it. We can blame someone else for the way we treat others if we want to, but that aligns us with fear, lack, and separation and opens us to be preyed on by sick-minded individuals. We can take responsibility for how we treat others and we choose to love, honor, and accept others for who they are, we align our energy with some of the most wonderful people on the planet.

With Love, Abundance, and Peace,
