Daily OM?
Ironicly this was sent to me by my ex boyfriends sister. The exboyfriend who many years ago turned me onto my life of hell with crack.
I love what this has to say.

Empowered Storytelling
Create a Supportive Life Story
We all have our own life story. It is filled with relationships and events that help shape who we are and what we believe to be true about the world. Depending on our perspective and willingness to grow, our experiences can become fodder for negativity and patterns of playing the victim, or they can fuel a life of empowerment and continued self-development. It is the story we tell ourselves about what happens that makes all the difference.
Take a moment to look at the life story you create for yourself on an ongoing basis. If you generally feel peaceful about the past and trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, then you are framing circumstances in a manner that serves you well. On the other hand, if you retain a lot of guilt or resentment and often feel weighed down by life, you may want to start telling yourself a new version of past and present events. No matter who the characters are in your story or what they have done, you are the only one who can give their actions the meaning they will have for you. You are the only one who can define what role you will play in your own life. By taking responsibility for your story, you are able to learn and grow, forgive and find compassion, and most importantly, move on into a brighter future.
From now on, you can choose a life story that supports you. Let it be proof of your own resilience and creativity. Be kind with the roles you give yourself and generous with how many chances you get to learn what you need to know. When you remember that you are the author of your own story, you are free to create a masterpiece.

Thanks for that Chiy...
It's been about 15 years ago that I was reading a book, which had the same outline message as that. It is so true, "that you are the author of your own story, you are free to create a masterpiece." or let me add..A Nightmare DRAMA!

Some powerful words scribed by that message. We do tend to hold on to those past events that have shaped us into the people we are today. A while back I decided to shed the negative ones (after I learned my life experience from it) and move on. Kinda like what I say about the drink. Just quit thinking about it all of the time. The adiction, like our pasts, should become just that - a thing in our past.
Thanks for sharing Chiynita.
