“A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.” – English proverb
When going through the storm in the past my focus was always the other side of the torment. I remember thinking if I can just get through this I will be okay! I often missed the growth lesson because I was too busy trying to dodge the waves. Of course when you miss the lesson you are doomed to repeat it! In hindsight when I have taken responsibility for my actions, took charge of what I can change or do, and when I relied on God’s guidance often through my sponsor, friends or mentor the results were better.
Recovery is about taking responsibility for my actions, changing the things that I can change and relying on my Higher Power to guide me along the way. I love life today, I love people and enjoy putting my hand out for them. There was a time when my hand was out but it was waiting for something to be put in it!
Go, Go, Go…
Dan 🙂
