Let\u2019s stop blaming our lover, partner, children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s stop blaming our boss, job and economy.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s stop blaming our social status, economic status, gender, age, skin color, religion and nationality.<\/p>\n

Make that responsibility count.<\/p>\n

Come and live fully in the present…<\/p>\n
