Step Work Breakthroughs
I'm doing pretty good here. I took a break today during work to read a 10th step meditation. I'm struggling to keep myself on track with a couple of my "problem children" -- haha, a couple of my more maddening adult learners. It's an ongoing challenge, and I am so thankful I have the 10th step right now to apply to the challenge.
As time goes by my understanding that the world doesn't revolve around me deepens, as does the understanding that I don't have all the answers, deepens - as does my belief in a power greater than I. My own shortcomings make me feel more patient with everyone else's than I've ever been in my self centered, addicted, codependent existence!
It doesn't mean that I will accept unacceptable behavior from others, but that I understand that it's not up to me to judge. That's a pretty big breakthrough for me. I still have a long way to go but I wanted to share my thoughts.
