We are saying the same freaking thing. We just have different views on where the bad stuff originates. I say the Devil...you say self-will.
Go back and re-read what I posted this morning. I'm sorting out the mess with my writing. I came to the same conclusion you did in the post above. I set myself up.
I thought "I don't deserve this" and I made it true.
What I'm trying to point out to folks here who may be struggling with similar issues...just because it gets messy, doesn't mean all is lost. Re-building, remodeling...it's messy business. It may be ugly and messy and feel terrible, but this movement may be meaningful and part of the process to get where you are headed.
I'm digging past my limitations, my past, my insecurities, my fears...I'm gonna keep on digging until I hit gold. I'm learning there is no mistake in success. I used to think success was some sort of miracle. It's not. No one gets to the Olympic podium by saying...Hey! How did this happen?
I missed that lesson in school or wherever. I'm not blaming myself. I just did.
It's not easy, but I'm working on it.
Sometimes it comes off like you think you have all the answers. When, in my opinion we're all in this together...figuring out the path and helping each other through. That's my frustration.
