I have often said there needs to be a 12 step program for everyone.
A way to live with more self-awareness, detachment, acceptance and peace. A place of resourceful strength able to effectively kill those negative liar voices, the ones who seek to steal the precious positive real estate in your head.
How and why do the 12 step programs help achieve your happy dream?
Imagine the steps are more simply broken down into four quadrants, or four pieces in a larger pie, or strong spokes in a wheel.
GFMG:
The first set of 3 steps are about; Giving up
The second set of 3 steps are about; Fessing up
The third set of 3 steps are about; Making up
The last set of 3 are about; Growing up
When we give up control of any situation, we are open to consider things we don't know. Once we are open to new ideas, we can see our part in any given circumstance, and focus on the only thing we have any control over anyway, and that would be us. Once we are open and aware, we naturally want to heal any wounds by making up with the gift of forgiveness. Forgiving ourselves, and the other person, whether they deserve it or not. Eventually, the process naturally helps us grow up and live life, on life's terms. We stop the never-ending battle of wishing things were different, and accept things are what they are, grateful we did the best we could at the time with the information we had. Gratitude for having learned valuable wisdom for the present moment and unwritten future.
It's all a process.
Trees don't grow twenty feet overnight, and neither does anything in the person known as you.
GFMG your day in a fresh new happier way!
