Fighting against something is not a very good way to avoid it. For by your efforts to fight it, you give it more power in your life.

Seek instead to create a positive alternative. Make the negative situation irrelevant by building an even more powerful positive force.

The best response to hostility and anger is not more hostility and anger. The best response is a new vision and energy that will move everyone to a more valuable and creative place.

Choose to transcend the fight, and then you can make your way forward unhindered and unopposed. Take the energy of the situation and re-direct it toward positive, productive pursuits.

When you feel the urge to fight, whether against another person, a difficult situation, or your own weakness, stop and reconsider. Instead of fighting against, is there something even more compelling that you can work toward?

Almost always, there is. And the moment you choose it, you're already moving quickly ahead.

I need this right now!!













One happy little Easter Egg
To bring you smiles of joy....

I need it too, today. Something I've learned is not to "react" to anything negative, but to take time to calm myself and then "act" in a positive way to get through it. Look back or look forward, the choice is mine, and the peace of the "forward" depends on me.

Ya...know that's a trip, Ann.
I stand at the cross roads...five minutes at a time today.
I don't know weather to laugh or cry, anymore.
new stuff, old stuff...yeap i try not to react..it's a spun job.
I guess I'm not suppost to fight it. It's designed to hurt me.
Wonder how high of a threashole I have for pain and chaos ??
I can't say it didn't effect me, I don't have to run with it, do i.

I guess Freedom is a hard thing to accept. I guess I'm not use to it.
I guess I'm suppost react to jealousy to throw me off center.
I guess it's suppose to test me or sum'in. Everything happens
for a reason, I guess

It's weird there's a part of me that say....
Why the hell do you still feel like crap? You're a free man.
Forward feels uncomforatable becuase it's unfamilar.

Change takes each one of us to unfamiliar territory, but it's only fear that holds us back. If I don't like my life the way it is, the only way I can change it is to take the plunge into that mysterious place called recovery and just trust that I'll land softly and discover that it's not scary at all, it's a place of beauty with many gifts.

I've been getting alot of ahha moments.
it's not all clear, but much clearer.
Being presence cuts right through the fog

There's consistentcy in my life through all of this.
I also learned something new today. It Rocks
I also passed on something very special to another, today.

No, it's not all that i want and where I want to 2 be @ the moment.
However, today wasn't a total waste of a life...my life.

Somethings keeps him going
