“People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.”
- J. Michael Straczynski
Why would you want to put it on yourself, when you can blame others? It seems so logical to find your faults in what others do and say. I used to live in that place. It is a hard place to get out of. It takes time, energy, patience and work. I tell people you cannot be straddled across the brook or stream and have one foot on each side. You have to jump in and go with the flow. You have to put yourself on the line to move ahead. Stop reacting and start acting. I know it is not easy. It sounds so easy. You might be stuck in a situation - a job, or a relationship. You do not know how to proceed. You would rather stay where you are and not to rock the boat or hurt the other person, but deep deep down you are unhappy. You feel the void. We all have been there. I certainly have. Either you want it to work or you do not want it to work. Try to talk to someone - your doctor, a therapist, a clergy person, a sponsor. Holding it in will not ease the pain nor solve the problem. Meditate and pray on the problem. It does get better
I have always read the quotes of OW and WO. Oscar Widle and William Osler. It is strange that the initials are reversed. Oscar Wilde said this:
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
I love this quote especially sicne Oscar mentions both passion flowers and poppies. Both have sedative properties for the nervous system.
After yesterdays Holiday eating how do you feel today ? Do you feel tired, fatigued and just blah. You probably had too many carbohydrates. Did you have your sweet potatoes without marsh mellows and brown sugar ? I did. As you communed with your family and friend yesterday did you give thanks to the farmers, yourselves, your neighbors and your family for the art of growing power and the eternal abundance of healthy food that sat before you on the day.
