Recovery is scary, but so is remaining exactly the same.

I wanted to start a thread of positive quotes or meditations I read, so I have another place other than my journal to go back and read them when I need them. I hope they help others to.

If you saw the blessing that was coming, you would understand the magnitude of the battle you are fighting.
Your largest fear carries your greatest growth.

I hope it is ok to post on your thread. In the eighties I wrote a book called, Songs of the Soul. It contained Recovery Poems. For those who like amateur poetry here is the link. www.brightertomorrow.net/poemhome.htmA Brighter Tomorrow
Life may take a downward spiral,
And overwhelm us for awhile.
Pain may seem a way of life;
Endless moments filled with strife.
Gloom may settle in our soul,
Splitting that which once was whole.
And yet despite this painful rift,
There still exists a timeless gift.
The saving grace when all is gray,
The promise of a brand new day. |

Growth is a painful process, but it is only when the seeds break though the hard shell and blossom that we shall see the beauty that laid inside all along.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new.  |

Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. - Deepak Chopra
I want to be a Pioneer of the FUTURE!!
