Sometimes we want to be someone else anyone but who we are. We want to be someone who feels more free and at peace. We want to be someone who doesn't have to take medications day after day. We want to be free of the pain and loneliness our illness has brought us.
But whether we get what we want or not, what we need is to accept ourselves, our illness, a desire to become well, and the guidance of our Higher Power.
Today, do I accept myself, my illness, and the guidance of my Higher Power? Do I commit myself to recovery?
Thought for the Day
When I look within, I will discover that accepting myself and being myself are far more fulfilling that expected.
We want to be someone who feels more free and at peace. We want to be someone who doesn't have to take medications day after day.....
I love this.... first of all, that other person does not really exist. Richard Branson, founder of Virgin records and Airlines, multi-billionaire, likely has days where he cannot find peace, and or has to do something he doesn't want or like to do. He likely has days where he feels trapped under so much stress and so many different businesses and affairs, i would be willing to bet on it. Why? Because he is a human being.
So what I am saying a lot of the time by wanting to be someone else, is that I am not wanting to have the problems and challenges that come with being human, but I do want the perks!! Not fair! And wasn't I always the one screaming for fairness when I was in my disease???
:o)
