Positively new thread - how do you deal with this?

[RBinBR]

Is there anything I could be doing, other than detach detach? Sounds silly to say that, but there it is.

But that's the whole ballgame, isn't it? Detachment is what enables you to keep a PMA, and it's what keeps you from saying things you wish you hadn't.

I don't know if there is a magic key to detachment, PL. The biggest key to mine has been my relationship with Christ. By enjoying his love, I'm able to focus on what he has done for me and trust his promise to bless me. Through fellowship with other believers, I'm able to develop frienships and take in the comfort of knowing that others care about my difficulties and are praying for me.

The other big key for me has been my new career. I'm excited about helping kids learn and I'm now very driven to be a good teacher, so that's really occupying my mind.

I guess the key to detachment is finding satisfaction and fulfillment in something other than your M. Good luck.
