yes i do need the encouragement of others to continue on this path.
and i also need to encourage others with whom i share this journey
i have been searching for an answer to a troubling situation inmy life and the solution is presented this morning
it is part of my responsibility to provide encouragement, but i do not have to be a banker, a counsellor, or a therapist. i am not qualified to fill any of these positions and will not continue to "try-out" these roles any more
as a result of this revelation my rerlationships within the program can be allowed to morph into what they will be
i no longer have to allow others expectations of me shape my behavior
i can behave in the correct manner just because it is right, not because someone else expects me too.
i can love and express my love appropriately based on the situation and person i am with
just for today i can be a part of the fellowship and my own LIFE.
