ON MY MIND
Ever get a day when things are going on in your head and you just want to get them outside of you? For me, today is one of those days.
I hate negativity and destructive criticism. I can remember the days when I was probably guilty on a regular basis of these attributes. I remember the day when the thought came into my head that if you were to look at the world through an anis, all you would see was excrement (I don’t think those were quite the words, but today I’m more genteel)! While being along way from perfect today, I think others see me, and more importantly inside of me I feel, positive and willing to make an action orientated attempt to improve things for the better.
A process called life recovery and the discovery (no lets call it a renewed awareness) of a power far greater than me that has always dwelt within has changed my attitude towards life. I am humbled by the change and grateful.
I honestly spend as much effort as I can in doing the next right thing and am thrilled to be making progress always mindful perfection isn’t necessary.
I am a member of a 12 step group and do my thing there as best I can and in keeping with the group’s traditions. I do community volunteer work trying to use the business experiences I’ve had, particularly utilising success I’ve been a part of, to simply improve things for the “common good” of those I serve. I coach people as a “vocation” and as a passion, and have been consulting independently for 20 years and have paid the bills and raised a family. So this life recovery thing has been good for me and funny, it has been good for many I have worked with. It is nice to have some things to feel grateful about and even better when your passion and experience can be tied in to your vocation.
Today I am pissed, and it is my feeling and genuine.
You work hard at things and do the best you can. You do it for the right reasons and lately, it seems, all you get is negative blowback….well that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But more negativity than I can handle today.
It would appear that too many people have too much time on their hands, and make a decision to put it to negative use. So if you are how you act, and you act like anis, what will your view of things be like!
This blogging journaling thing is one of the tools I was taught to use to make sure my insides and outside matched in a good way. Some will relate to this ramble, some won’t. I feel better already. I do put my web site in my blogs for a reason- there are some people who get positive help from some of the things I write, and get in touch; so no apologies. Let’s see if we can focus a bit more on the positives today, and be a little less judgemental of others! (www.hopeserenity.ca)
