Wife Left Part 3

[CO1978]

All of your goals included in that list....are fantastic. Yet you limited yourself by just practicing them within the confines of your marriage.

That list is a marriage specific list, I do have an every day life list as well (which includes most of the stuff on that list)

I am going to challenge you, to post something daily , that you did from your list, outside of your marriage. Something that YOU did, for another person, other than your spouse.

Sound easy ?

We will see....

I would also like to see your goals for yourself, things that light that spark within yourself...outside of your marriage.

My main goals are the Four Agreements:

(1) Be Impeccable with your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what I mean. Avoid speaking against myself or gossiping about others.

(2) Don't Take Anything Personally

(3) Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what I really want. Communicate with others as clearly as I can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama.

(4) Always Do Your Best
"Enjoy the path traveled and the destination will take care of itself."


These goals seem broad, but living these agreements has really helped transform me.

I do use these everyday when I go to work and interact with convicted criminals and my co workers. A state penitentiary is a place where gossip runs rampant, people talk behind your back constantly or to the extreme your life may be threatened.

3 months ago I would come home burnt out and stressed, now I can leave work with a smile on my face, regardless of what happened.

I don't want it to seem like I am going through the motions, because I am not. I am truly a different person, from even last week, let alone the one my W left over 2 months ago.
