If you look for excuses for failure you will always find them, for you find what you seek.

many this night, after having heard this truth will still be inclined to blame others for their predicament

If you look for causes outside the consciousness of man, then I have not convinced you of the reality of consciousness.

This revelation gives man no excuse for failure. His concept of himself is the cause of all the circumstances of his life.

It was easier living when I could blame another.

If there is pain to me in these happenings, I should look within myself for the cause

If I am hurt, I am self hurt.

for you are the only architect of your sufferings or your good fortune. There is no power outside that has caused anything to happen to you

but when you don’t know it, well then, you blame another

If I broke my neck I would know you could not have done it unto me: I did it unto myself.

should ever allow himself to blame another, ever allow himself to justify failure, for he is only betraying his own lack of the use of this law
