"We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past, become the architect of your future."
-Robin Sharma
Ya know, it's real easy to give advice freely and lovingly to others, but I find myself struggling to apply these things, these great tools and things I've learned & am still learning, to my own life. When I share these things not only do I feel it may help someone who may also be struggling, it makes me reflect on myself and what I need to try to work on and apply to my own life. This quote I've posted today, is absolutely one of those things! Thank you everyone who has been supportive and helped me along the way. This place has helped me in some very dark times/moments. I came here for support, to support, to learn, to grow... to work on myself and my recovery. If I can in any way help someone else, that's awesome, if not, you can't save the world, but you can drive yourself crazy trying if you'd like. Lol. I say that kinda jokingly because I am one of those people who is like, "you can't save the world, but I'll die trying." haha. But, all jokes aside, that is exactly what would kill me if I continue to live with that mind-set/belief. There's gotta be boundaries, I respect others boundries, but not everyone will or even know how to... sometimes we must re-enforce those boundries to protect ourseIves and our own recovery. Another thing I must absolutely work on myself! I've seen some very negative, troll-ish, bullying, judgemental behavior on here and my hope is that the people who come here for the right reasons, with good intentions continue trying to keep this place/space a good one.
