I was told by a spiritual mentor... that All our problems stem from FEAR and DESIRE..that I must learn to overcome.
I was told to work hard but expect nothing.. as the path for overcoming...TRUST GOD
I must not critisize or complain...This only imprisons....TRUST GOD....not the limitations of that which I desire from people places or things.
Be on my own path looking straight ahead...not around at others..offering opinions of how I want it to be.
There are a million things each day in the media to complain about..Why bother..The world is a mess.. always was and always be.. It's perfect..Let God he created it.. figure it all out..
I've been given my work to do...Just do it...expect nothing...
MY Sobriety is contingent ..just for today on my spiritual well being

1. We are born with only 2 fears ... that of 'loud' noises and the fear of 'falling' ... ALL other fears are learned ...
2. Yes, we need to work hard, however, we should expect certain results for our efforts !!! ... it's when we give to others that we should not expect to be rewarded ... (so I differ in opinion here) ...
3. To criticize others is mostly 'seeing something in them' that you 'don't like about yourself' ... and to 'criticize' them is like holding a white hot ember in your hands to throw at them, BUT, you're the one getting burned ...
4. Yes, God created the world ... and in doing so, He gave 'mankind the 'freedom' to chose ... even from the first 2 people to exist ... SO, God is not to blame for the way the world is today, 'man' is ...
5. Yes, we have work to do ... but I do my 'recovery' work and expect to reap the 'promises' made in our BB ... if I didn't expect that, why bother ... I'd die a lonely, miserable, old man ...
