my daily reflections…

happiness is the result for me, it isnt a goal. recovery taught me the emotional items within my character that i needed to work on so i could fix the problems i face. it was the initial dive into joel and several deeper dives which have given me the knowledge to use the wisdom gained to enhance the experience of my life in healthy, balanced, sane, powerful & manageable life practice. today i get to face the problems that arise in my life instead of run from them creatin bigger and worse problems. it is by humility and a willingness to learn from others how to reduce the many problems that plagued me back in the days of doin my dirt i get to live a result of happiness within. its not that i beat every problem i face, its that ive learned how, and in what ways, the problems affect me, then i work on those characters. through a process of listenin ive learned to act instead of reactin when problems arise. ive learned there are few complications or dilemmas others havent gone through from which i may learn solutions. though they may be new to me or a recurrin one, there are people in the fellowship who may have gone through what may be right in front of me today. when i humble myself and reach out, i get to learn from their experience allowin myself the courage to work within and solve my personal, and personality, problems. ive learned how to rest and listen, as well as how to work with patience and perseverance. today i get to be involved in my lifes successes & failures. the best way for me to predict the future is to create happiness, then share, with humility, the outcomes ive experienced. at the end of the day, i get to take some time and learn by practice. as i practice and learn, i step deeper into life, sobriety, and recovery. when shit gets too deep for me, when for all i trust Him, listen, and learn, courage becomes faith that has said its prayers. self-accomplishment is a beautiful feelin! 1 day @ a time...
