Worry and willingness.
I can view life from these two perspectives. I can sit in worry and do a lot of mental acrobatics while wearing myself out. I can become willing to make the needed changes in my beliefs, thoughts, feelings actions and responses. The worry thing has never created any changes. Willingness has open millions of pathways […]
Breaking barriers
I am reminded how many of my beliefs had been limiting my growth and awareness. When I had exciting spiritual experiences as a child, I remember feeling euphoric. As a teenager I would hold back my excitement out of fear that people would think I was crazy. When I first got sober, I felt so […]
Responsibility
I am reminded how my life is my responsibility. I used to try and control other people’s behaviors through guilt, shame, threats, rage and manipulation. My need for control came from a deep-seated fear that others were to blame for my safety and happiness. Other people’s lives are their responsibility. Today I am free to […]
Trust and love.
I am reminded how there can be no real love without trust and no trust where there is no love. I have cut myself off from the love of others through losing all trust in human beings. I have lost relationships when I stopped trusting the other person. I lost trust in religions and lost […]
School of Life.
I am reminded how we are simply living in a world where we get to learn new lessons. We can struggle and still feel joy in knowing that every little thing is going to be alright. I get to have experiences which will make me laugh and other experiences give me a chance to learn. […]
Overcome.
I am reminded how I am the only thing I must overcome. My ego is the one construct that blocks my access to the eternal me. My selfishness and self-centeredness are the manifestations of my egoic fear. When I live out my day in selfishness and self-centeredness, I cause my own difficulties. These modes of […]
Soundness of mind.
I am reminded how severely out of balance I was in my past. When I was actively drinking my behaviors were “out of character” and when sober, the next day, I would live in guilt and shame over how horrible I was as a human being. When I finally got sober and remained that way […]
Characters
As a child I remember thinking I needed to act a certain way in order to feel safe. I would walk into the house, check the energy of the house and determine which persona was needed. I carried this through most of my life even into my adult years. I have discovered how those characters […]
Not alone.
I have days when I think I am the one and only creator of my life. Those days turn out in ways I do not prefer. They are also wonderful reminders that I need only to tune into the frequency that is God and follow the flow of the Divine design for my life and […]
Principles of a good life.
I am reminded how I am in charge of obtaining and maintaining the principles of the good life. For me it is as simple as reprograming myself. Losing the old limiting beliefs about myself and thus the world and installing new ones. Beliefs are created through repeated thoughts. I am an amazing creation.I am compassionate, […]
