โ™ฅ i sometimes feel broken but i go on, โ™ฅ

Posted: Wed, May 29, 2013 09:32:45 AM

knowing that my life will be repaired. broken is a great way to describe myself this morning. acting out of anger i bought something that i could game to use, but really i am not eligible for anymore. it only took five minutes after the fact to realize that it was wrong, and i am trying to return the software, so who knows, maybe the POWER that fuels my recovery will take care of me in this instance or maybe i will have to learn a painful financial lesson. be that as it may, i feel better trying to correct my mistake and i see that it was frustration at not getting what i want, when i want it, that led up to pulling the online trigger.
certainly a good lesson for me, today of all days, as i one of the men i sponsor may be living in that frustrating place of unmet expectations. the real irony here, is what i have been talking to him about is the EXACT thing i did, bending my will to control the uncontrollable and using ways and means to get what i want, not what i really need.
anyhow, i have to get rolling at work so, i will leave off with this thought -- just for today, i can own my wrongs, make the appropriate corrections and allow the POWER that fuels my recovery to care for me.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

3) He who possesses the mother of the state may continue long. His
case is like that (of the plant) of which we say that its roots are
deep and its flower stalks firm:--this is the way to secure that its
enduring life shall long be seen
