WHAT'S THE PAYOFF??

WHAT’S THE PAYOFF???
Yesterday, I talked about the turning point I was at in my life.
Through a series of events and people, I made a decision to transform my life, and took a journey I know call “Co-Creative Process of Life Recovery” With an underlying foundation of the 12 steps, this process is a holistic approach to regaining a healthy balanced life.
What was promised that I wanted and have got. Initially these were the things I sought.
Promises
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development,
we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone,
we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us
what we could not do for ourselves.

This was a start point. When these things had come true, self-esteem had returned, I had experienced a transformation, personal relationships with family and friends had improved, and in my case, fortunately my marriage had come back together.
I was able to work on other key areas of my life with a whole new foundation, and to get the life I wanted, continue to work with others on specifics’.
If this is something that interests you for your own life, feel free to contact me through www.hopeserenity.ca, and I’d be pleased to share in detail the journey that life and recovery has been for me. I would not change my life today for anything from my past.
