Life on Life's Terms from addiction to recovery
It is so easy to rely on the Spirit of the Universe and trust the process when things are going well, easy, or as I think they should. It is a true test of my ability to practice the principles in all of my affairs when life does not go in a pleasant manner or events do not transpire as I think they should. I can pause, relax, and take it easy in the moments of distress because it is here that I grow. A true test of the depth of my spiritual fitness lies in my ability to flow with life events that produce distress and pain. Acceptance in these situations produces a richness and depth of Spirituality that is not apparent when everything is peaceful and easy. Today I am faced with a true test of my ability to walk the walk. I can talk about practicing principles all day long but when the actions don’t match I where does that leave me. I can continue down the path of self pity, resentment, and fear OR I can pick up the kit of spiritual tools laid at my feet and try to do the next right thing.
Today I will make an effort to practice kindness, patience, tolerance, and love for myself and others.
