" > > all the best, > > Bob This is is an interesting conversation for me - Can I share this thought.. " There are two sides to every coin " One cannot know light without experiencing darkness no? I dream but I am realistic. Failure is an oportunity for growth. i am not afraid to admit that I failed at something because it helps me to know that a certain way did not work. Successful people have always experienced failure apparently. The difference is the choice not to let it cripple the future. I am not saying i havent been depressed about the past. Of course the most positive affirmations are those which affirm everything that we ARE in love, peace and joy. Bob's previous message focusing on affirmations helped me create security. It helped me to make friends with myself again I feel the most important focus is that of detachment. It doesnt work for me to deny the obvious feeling. Like; it is raining and i feel like the world is closing in on me, However - i can say: " This is how i feel - look at me! This feeling will pass as will the weather. What can i do to help myself with this day? " To me this is a prayer - it was this kind of prayer that encouraged me to send a message to you guys asking for support My thought might be " I feel useless, i have failed and turned everything to sand " And I can say " Well, I can carry on feeling useless until it drives me mad! - Who could I go and help today that might help me to feel useful? How can I make my life count? " In the same way - and if it feels really over-weleming I might pray a kinda prayer something like: " I feel useless - show me something God that will empower me. Send someone today with a message especially for me. Show me how to create strength in this situation. Show me how to comfort myself " - And then I wait for a feeling inside that 'tells' me what to do - Or I go out and look around, keep the phone close and just stay " connected " until i either find the answer - the strength directly from within. OR 'Bingo' someone or something shows up! God definitely likes to work through people Love Kay x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
