”Find the seed at the bottom of your heart
and bring forth a flower.”
Shigenori Kameoka

As
much as I have reason to be upset, to hold a grudge, or to seek revenge as I
move forward in my new life, these acts are no longer congruent with how I
want to live. There are people from my past and present, who dislike me or
worse, and it has been a difficult transition but these are now the people
whom I pray for most. Not so that they will treat me better, but so that they
find their own path of healing and recovery.
I
have found the seed at the bottom of my heart, and it is love. It is an
imperfect, human love, but it is still my direct connection to God’s love. I
seek only to do what is right by His will and his guidance. For my Higher
Power will not only lead me, but as I believe He alone will also judge me.
I
am open to feedback and criticism and I am working hard at only accepting the
parts which are the truth and letting the harsh words, insults and hateful
emotions go. Retaliation serves no purpose; I will not change other’s views
or attitudes by acting as they do, if indeed I have any influence at all. I
remain steadfast to my morals and values because it is the right thing to do.

Affirmation
If I
remember to think, speak, and act from the basis of love, I will make the
right choices today.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
