Wholeness

Posted in depression, recovery with tags , , , , , , on March 14, 2008 by Norman Reid

Throughout my life, I often had no sense of wholeness, no guiding purpose that allowed me to choose in a principled way.  Instead, I allowed myself to be pulled by the crises of the moment.  But as I have come into greater touch with my soul, I have found my center, that calm place inside that tells me who I am.  When I feel anxiety from the crisis of the moment, I can go within to find that calm center.

Joy

We deserve to have joy.  It is our right.  But it is also our responsibility, to recognize that the decision to be joyful is ours to make.  The source of joy resides within.  We cannot look outside ourselves for the key to our happiness.  We can live our lives in the moment, ever mindful of the wonder of life and knowing that true joy springs from our souls.
