The last few weeks have been difficult for me. Friendships have been strained, family relationships have been tested and my relationship with me has been stretched...all the while I have been hanging on like a barnacle. In the midst of the turmoil I found a laminated prescription of Bill Smith's that was given to me from a new friend that says: 1. Trust God 2. Clean house 3. Help others. To the best of my ability I followed that script. I patiently waited through this mini storm and can see more clearly what was to be learned. One insight i gained is that I need to hold all, including me, in a bigger space of reverence and appreciation. I had been lacking. Thank you all for listening.
This is a very profound share. Holding ourselves and others in an attitude of reverence and appreciation is a true gift of this program and one I am so very grateful for.
I believe that I simply started by just learning to treat everyone with courtesy and respect and from that grew a deeper appreciation of each of us as true children of HP and worthy of compassion and love
My counselor tells me to stop getting stuck in the limited and outdated stories of my life that play in my head...and what I can and can't do, and why people do things...and instead, step into my power, stop letting life happen to me (martyr, victim identity), and enjoy my blessings.
I hate it when he says that.
Hey, like you are human...and truly a miracle in progress.
Thank you for sharing this wholesome prescription! Holding on in a bigger space of reverence and appreciation gives me a visual of barnacle to butterfly.
