In my experience the greatest gift I received was the humility.
When I first got sober, I was so relieved that I felt I needed to tell everyone about my sobriety.
Part of my maturing process was to overshare the harrowing details of my life and in so doing I hurt many people.
Eventually I was taught how my sharing was not humility but bragging.
I was trying to make everyone see how great I was by the changes I made in my life, when in fact I felt like I was not good enough.
This one belief of never good enough has affected my life in one way or another for years.
I still encounter this belief, and I have come to befriend it.
I humbly accept each and every version of me.
I appreciate the lessons I took time to learn from each phase of my development.
I am humbled by this amazing creation.
Each morning, I say thank you to the Creator for the opportunity to live out my life and learn new lessons.
I appreciate every being who enters my experience and offers me a new lesson.
I say thank you to each person who has reached out to me in gratitude, support and criticism, you are wonderful teachers.
May each of you find your greatest gift.
You are Loved.
