Today, well this week so far rather, has been a lot of trials and challenges. I hit quite a few new meetings last week and the last 2 days have been amazing. On tonights episode we talk about taking the good from the bad. Life is good, even when it sucks.
References to Jim Carey movies are abound and relevant today. When we sit and think about all of the things that work around us and how they fit into our everyday lives, we need to understand that not everything that happens is……satisfactory.
There are a lot of players that participate in our existence, and we have to honor these players. We have to be thankful for them, and ensure that we take care of them. As long as we don’t take them for granted, we will never fail at happiness. Now don’t get me wrong, I fuck up a lot….but I always try to admit it. I make excuses sometimes, but for the most part, I own my mistakes and I use them to correct myself and my actions.
I have had failed relationships and marriages, friendships, jobs, experiences….but truth be told I have learned a lot about myself along the way. I have reached a point now, perhaps considered to be a moment of enlightenment, of all of the things in my life that I am dissatisfied with. I am working on changes that will influence the futures in a substantial way, and for the betterment of me and those that surround me. Recognition of myself and dedication to my job has been astounding, I have never been in a position where my ideas not only get recognized, but implemented. I am not sure if it is the clear head and follow through, or if it is simply that I have good ideas, but it is in fact working for me.
I conclude with this weeks video, so that I may fall asleep now. Long day tomorrow.
Stay strong, stay focused, stay sober
