Ignoring Your Life - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

“If you ignore your life, it will pretty much ignore you right back. I reckon the Universe figures why should it bother sending you anything else if you haven’t got anymore gumption than that.”
~ Jill Conner Browne
Certainly a good statement affirming the fact that you get out of life what you put into it. I think a lot of us get frozen and stagnant at times. And while we feel like the Universe is ignoring us, maybe it’s that we are ignoring the Universe. Sitting still, and resting on our laurels, or our pain, or our pride...or whatever we’re resting on...does not promote forward motion.
