When I wake each morning I am never sure how that day will go, but I have grown to know that I do have choices to make. Their not always the choices I would like to make , but sometimes the presentation is subtle, and sometimes stark. but I do know that I need direction to put my perception in the proper perspective, to make the best choice possible. I wish I could say that each day was wonderful, but I do know that each day is as it comes.

Today I started reading a new book which is a daily reader, that puts my mind in a more orderly place, as I started to read everything I read was very profound, but from a point of view that I have issues with. However over my life in recovery I have learned to be more open to hear the message that’s being presented, without judgement, and hold off on opinion before I hear what is being said. This has always been a problem in the past, “contempt prior to investigation”, which I totally understood when I first heard it, as a matter of fact, it was one of the first things I related to in recovery, on my first day. This is when the lesson’s started, 24 some odd years ago.

Since then I have become more tolerant, and pliable, to hear messages from many sources. In my opinion the journey only starts with one step, and when I took the step to surrender to the power that are the teaching’s, that are rooted in spiritual principles no matter what the source’s are, and if I am truly am trusting and open, I will hear the music of the universe speaking. I know that many will disagree, and believe that it is only one way, but I can’t help believe that this, is rooted in vanity, and self-righteous pride. For me to say that anyone’s belief is wrong  as long as they are rooted in moral and universally sound principles, would in my opinion put me on the wrong side of God’s will. I have learned that tolerance and love is what I need more of, and those are the two things I should make my daily choices.

I think these two choices are hard for us as humans to understand, and accept, because of our need to make our point of view valid. This goes against our will, and need to be right, and our promptness to judge and tell the other person they are wrong because they don’t believe the way I want them to. This is pure ego and pride, also fear that if I am wrong, then there is something missing in me. I am not trying to be right, I am trying to do right, and I have grown to know, that there are many more evolved ideologies, and principles, then I can even begin to understand, but I have come to know for me, that the universal presence of a power greater than me does do things for me that I can’t explain, in my limited consciousness and shallow mind, and that things have and will be revealed to me If I just seek, trust, clean my side of the street, and try to be of maximum service to the best of my ability. This is what I have been taught, and try to live everyday that God let’s me open my eye’s and kick starts my days. Peace out. M
