"Out of Chaos, Brilliant Stars are Born" - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Gypsy Feet · 07-14-2009, 10:17 PM

The powers that be are having a grand old time playing push me pull me. I feel "messages" and kicks in the behind. this past 5 days my life at home has been a mess, and getting worse BUT I went out of town Saturday-Monday and had giant "signs" of what was there for the taking. So I sat home today, somewhat frantic, trying to get the ball rolling on the big change. Part of the change involves moving, and my sister just bought a new house, so I was looking around for things I could pass on to her before packing. The first thing that caught my eye was a framed (chinese?) symbol, it has been on my wall for a long time. I don't remember ever reading it before, but it was hung right above my bed. It says

"CHAOS - WHERE GREAT DREAMS BEGIN

Before a great vision can become reality there may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we sometimes push against difficulty in bringing forth our dreams.

Out of Chaos, Brilliant Stars are Born"

I think I will keep that hanging for now=)

I love what you shared, maybe because I need to remind myself of this often.

Most of the "good" changes I have made in my life came out of chaos, often like God throwing a "detour" sign on my path and showing me a better one. I call these "God's strangely wrapped gifts" because it is usually only in hindsight that I get to see the "gift" in it all.

I often share that I wouldn't wish my life on my worst enemy, yet I would not trade one day of it with anyone because it all brought me to the good place I am in today.

When we get out of ourselves and the chaos, and find quiet moments to reflect and feel open to change, I think we allow the change to show itself to us and it all makes sense in the end.

Thanks for this reminder today. I, too, am going to print that out and keep it where I will see it each morning.

Hugs
