~~Hidden in the depths of your soul is an adventure you can't avoid.~~ Unknown
Isn't that quote simply breathtaking?! I truly believe it. And when I taught my group yesterday (I teach adults with diagnosed mental illnesses), we talked about uniqueness and purpose. These people always manage to teach me a lot about life and yesterday was no different.
The more you avoid or fight doing something you know you are meant to do, the more your world is going to get out of wack. One lady in group put it this way, "The more I denied I had an illness, the more everything in my life went wrong. It wasn't until I accepted my illness that I was able to work through it and become more balanced in my life."
Hmmm, makes sense, huh? Smokers are the same. Or at least I was. The more I fought against my addiction, the more everything seemed like a struggle. Once I accepted that I had an addiction I had to quit forever, (so I did) I am more balanced in my life.
As for my purpose in life? I don't know what it is. But I look forward to many more adventures!! I am not hiding, I am not fighting it. I know that life has something amazing in store for me. That keeps me hopeful and happy and excited. After all, anything is possible if you just believe.....
May you all have a blessed and joyful day,
Sheri
