First World Problems....feeling blessed today


Hi Everyone,

My name is slogan_Jim and I am a grateful member of Al-Anon.

I am feeling very blessed today. The other day, I was feeling very low on myself because of my inflated ego and arrogant sense of self-worth. I was upset that I could have been doing more....making more....why me? blah blah.

Then, I look around me. Read things on the news.....and I realize that I have it very good...I have my health....i have friends....I have growth...I have a purpose....and, I have a bit of money.....I have a good job....I am solely responsible for me at this stage.

I used to be like so many others. I've worked those crummy jobs for low-pay, lived beyond my means, took the advice of those that I shouldn't have. Bad things could have happened, but here I am. I am the leader in my life, with my higher power guiding me.

Whatever happens, I know he has a reason for it. He always has.

Thanks,

 

Jim.
