We are each responsible for all of our experiences.

It seems to me that everyone on this planet whom I know or have worked with is suffering from self-hatred and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred and guilt we have, the less our lives work. The less self-hatred and guilt we have, the better our lives work, on all levels.

Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
