Instead
of saying, "Why me?" when something happens, suppose you cut out the
"me," and ask, "Why? What's the real reason this situation has
come into my life? If I restrict my negative impulse to blame something or
someone outside of me, what positive responses open up to me?"
Part
of our spiritual work is to overcome the force that leads us in the opposite
direction.
Problems in our lives are really messages that need to be heard and
addressed.
