my daily reflections…

it does me no good to take sides when im workin with another, nor does it them. i have learned through recovery to open my mind to concepts and ideas that i had closed my mind to while out doin my dirt. when i close my mind, i set barriers to growth and learnin. i build unhealthy boundaries that end up hurtin me and those around me. it is my objective in recovery today to live and let live. this doesnt mean that what may work well for me may work well for another, nor does it mean what works well for them may work well for me, all this means is that i take into consideration the happenins around me with an objective mind so i may make a subjective decision. i aint tryin to grow or form resentments today under the guise of righteousness. so, takin the time to listen, learn, share my experience, if i have any, and pray for the right decision, is how i move forward. as i practice these simple fundamentals, prayin for guidance from my HP, i get to offer another the best suggestion i can, if i have any. if i have experience that has worked for me in the past, i may share that, but it doesnt mean it will work for them, its just another option for those im tryin to help to try. what does work is followin as closely as possible the spiritual principles laid out for inspection. im not there to pump my ego, their ego, or anybody elses, my only goal is to be helpful in what ev way i can. as i follow the inner pressure of Gods leadin, followin my conscience and doin what seems right, i get to know i did my best. the spiritual awareness ive gained, helps me to make choices that are shown through my actions and behaviors. i dont know all the answers and i am aware of that, but listenin, and sharin what i do have experience in, after prayer for direction, helps me and may help another. when i am able to see my own value, i get to see that i can make a difference. i get to work to be helpful to others and to conduct myself with dignity. whether i have helped another or not, i understand that i have been helped by them and myself because i was willin. when i have the courage to begin, i have the courage to succeed in bein helpful. i dont know if it works until i try to do it myself. 1 day @ a time...
