PURPOSE
IN MY JOURNEY
I have purpose on earth and I will continue to strengthen my direction. At times my direction gets confusing, and I flounder around, searching for my bearing. When I take time to remind myself that my Higher Power is guiding my journey, I feel tranquil and at peace.
Many times in my alcoholic family, my energies were blocked by my inability to separate from the emotions of others. When the alcoholic was drinking, I felt uptight, fearful and filled with anxiety. As I grew older, I began to take on the feelings of others as though those feelings were my own. I became fatigued, or consumed with busyness.
Today I will not live in extremes. I have purpose. I will celebrate the miracle of being alive, and I will feel the harmony that comes when I channel my energy into good directions.
