Just read your post on my thread. Thank you. What a nice post about acceptance and growth. Yes, I supposed I don't see it because I see myself every day in the mirror.
I am not looking for any changes, but I can feel them in a strange subtle ways. The silly things like going to the store and being able to shop for a meal and cook it for the family feels good. The ability to get my chit together and work and crush it, that feels good too. The ability to surrender the outcome to God which is a huge relief. I don't have to control the world or my W or my situation. I can influence, but not control any of it.
And the ability to humbly accept the advice that I have been so abundantly given here so freely on this board.
What I have learned is this:
Patience, real patience is required
The ability to listen, really really listen is required - also known as STFU
The ability to grow stronger, push past the pain points
The ability to let go of the situation
The ability to keep moving forward
The ability to be GRATEFUL for small and large blessings
The ability to accept help from others
The ability to give help to others if they ask for it
The ability to stand firm with your belief systems
