Dealing with UN-manageability of our life is a very hard thing to see, from the time we’re children we are being taught to deal with things. Having to really see just how unmanageable my life was, and is an enormous task no matter of the fact that it was staring me in the face. You know I had worked all of my life I managed to survive, but I didn’t realize manipulation was not managing, putting my marriage and my children lives and future in jeopardy, was not manageability, I didn’t see that going from job to job was not managing, risking my life and health was not managing, spending money on useless things was not managing, dreaming or assuming things were going to happen was not managing, these were very vivid signs but I failed to recognize them.
It took and takes doing a very through, moral, and FEARLESS look at myself everyday to see even the not manageable things going on in the present. Day after day I have to take hard looks at my motives, thoughts and actions to see what I can, and can’t manage today. Some may say that maybe I should just relax, but the truth is that the only real peace I have is to look deep in me to clear away things so that I can be prepared to help others which is the only way I can find real spirituality. The gift is that, this is my journey and I am truly grateful that my creator has given me a true task of managing to see his/her will for me and the knowledge, to see that managing today is centered in exhausting everything I have left in trying to find manageability of the things I make difficult. No one does this to me or for me, the responsibility is mine. That is truly what manageable means to me today. Peace M
