my share today on courage, faith, hope


This is from my share today and I was encouraged to share this with others, so Im doing just that. 

not feeling too prolific but i'll give it a go ;)

i was very hopless for so long 
i was seeing & obsessing on the situations of others
and ignoring my own 
i suffered a lot of pain & anguish 
mental anxiety 
but i had this weird, hope for others to change 
it was more like wishing, i guess 
but i didnt have any hope for me 
with program, and in discovering what self love is & means 
i have had hope grow in me 
today i have a very positive outlook 
and it is almost an expectation -- of my own new perspective 
it feels like it is secured in me 
i know as long as i am focused on right now 
(not tomorrow or the past) 
there is some empowerment waiting for me today 
i know this bc ive done it
i am free now that i can focus on me and i can get up & do something to help me 
i do have faith 
i didnt have it much for me in the past 
but it is much stronger now 
ive learned that no matter what happens, i
will survuve 
i will be ok 
im not sure what my ideas where before
the doom, gloom, dread of what will be 
even in crisis, we are ok, really 
i always expected the worst 
and it usually never happened
i was just keeping myself in a state of fear needlessly 
ppl have told me i have a lot of courage
even in the darkest of times 
i sure know fear 
courage is not an absence of fear 
it is just doing it anyway 
moving even though u are terrified 
i dont have to be perfect 
and am no longer judging myself 
i have been going through a process of undoing 
letting go of what no longer works 
for a more positive & porductive experience 
it really works 
odaat 
done

How so true for me.  I made myself very very ill obsessing about others and I was completely hopeless about my own life. Thank you for letting me know how very far you've come!  I hope you manage to have a relaxing holiday (mine is all about dealing with chores, chores, stuff I should have done years ago and more).  In time I'll get to a place where I am not on survival anymore.

Maresie.

Thanks so much for sharing. I've been stuck in pain and it is great to see someone who is using the program and came through it.
