Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
The Language of RECOVERY
Even though there seems to be no end in sight for me. I
can't just sit around waiting to die. I've got to do
something in the mean time. I found this book at Barnes
and Noble called The Language of RECOVERY. It's a
compilation of poems, words of wisdom and quotes from
different people, from all walks of life. All kinds of
people. At times I feel life is such a worthless struggle.
Such a waste of energy. I suppose I need something, some
kind of encouragement, that it isn't like that for
everyone. It doesn't have to be this way. So, I'll start
by sharing the foreword with you. Then, I'll include one
of the passages at the beginning of each entry. Kind of
like the Buddhist thing I was doing a while back, minus
the religious aspect. Maybe it will do me and others some
kind of good:
Walk Your Path One Step at a Time
Life's circumstances are not always what you might wish
them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as
you plan. Beyond any understanding, you may at times be
led in different directions that you never imagined,
dreamed, or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort
into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dream,
then perhaps you would have no direction at all.
Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction
your life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path
before you now. Shake off the "why's" and "what if's", and
rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was-is in the past.
Whatever is-is what's important. The past is a brief
reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is
here.
Walk your path one step at a time-with courage, faith, and
determination. Keep your head up, and cast your dreams to
the stars. Soon your steps will become firm and your
footing will be solid again. A path that you never
imagined will become the most comfortable direction you
could have ever hoped to follow. Keep your belief in
yourself and walk into your new journey. You will find it
magnificent, spectacular, and beyond your wildest
imaginings.
