[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 643923, member: 13542"] I believe that too. I don't believe in coincidences, or randomness. Believing that way has ultimately offered so much peacefulness, which I hear in your posts as well MWM. It takes so much of the blame, right and wrong, he done me wrong kind of thinking and replaces it, for me, with that opportunity to learn a lesson. It can be really hard MWM, I agree. It does take a commitment to change that's for sure. And, it keeps us out of being a victim of life or of others........ "[I]Now they have sort of melded into a sort of insignificant part of my mind." [/I] I feel that way too.......it's all slipped in to the past which then makes the present so rich and filled with a serenity I didn't know when so much of me was connected to the past. It does take work and a daily vigil for me, I do [I][U]A LOT[/U] [/I]for the peacefulness in my life.......but for me, it's so worth it. Like you, there was a lot of chaos and drama in my "former" life and now that I know I have the power to respond to life differently, to perceive it differently and to focus on the present rather then the past or the future, I am very, very protective of it.......I have a pretty quiet life now, by choice, I've learned to detect certain energies before they become a big problem and I simply stop engaging.......boy it would have been so nice to know that when I was younger.........[I]but those were my lessons![/I] I do believe that the relationships in our lives are fertile ground for growth.......certainly my parents and my daughter have given me a few PHD's in life!! Folks show up and some stay and some don't, but they all offer me a gift of some kind......sometimes it takes me awhile to find it!! But, I usually do and then I can bless them and move on. Like you I am always adding new methods of "staying awake" to my daily routine. I do it continuously. husband and I participated in a global peace meditation and he felt so peaceful and good during and after it, he suggested we get more guided meditations to listen to on a regular basis.........which made me really happy since he doesn't always participate in my sort of '[I]out there' [/I]ways. It's now becoming a huge part of my life......and boy, when I look back to where I've come from, it is a pretty dramatic shift! I am endlessly grateful MWM........[I]it's all good. :)[/I] [/QUOTE]
