PROGRAM PRIDE


So here I am, I've gotten through all my steps, and Im done! lol, naw seriously, I will never be done, but there is something about "Done" that tells me I'm better then all those who aren't through them. I know what they need and such to get through it, and it's now more then ever that I need more humbling experiences. I am finally to a point that I've started making the footwork a reality. It seems to only work when Im working it, otherwise I'm a mess & that helps with the pride. I was in a mode of ok I've gotten throught the steps and now I'm all better, but there I was, still in the same spot, go figure.When I find myself doing the HP directed stuff, it helps me to take the "ME" out of it, just doing what I need to be doing, peace everyone:)

Then the next moment here we go again...working the steps over and over and
over again.  They become a habit, a way of life a "want to have to" or else go
crazy way of life.  Practice makes perfect errr progress right?

Keep coming back cichlid it works when you work it.  Can Cichlid's swim up stream?
LOL...use to raise the beauties.

Hi Mark,

Thanks again for your honest heartfelt share.  This program has taught me the true value of Humility.  I too must incorporate the steps each moment of each day into my life.  I am a work in progress and will always need this beautiful program.

ODAT together we will make it.

Yep. hit the nail on the head Jerry. I started praying every morning when I wake up and saying thats, then at night I try to remember and go over what I have done right mostly, but also reflect on what I need to work on and how I am doing that. It is working...when I work it:)
