I have acknowledged my error in perception, forgiven the “perpetrator”, asked forgiveness and expressed an interest in making up for the infraction. My question is now what?
Well for starters, I can return to what is. That which is available right now always has been and always will be. I have to admit though it is not as easy as it might sound. My mind (Ego) keeps thinking and restlessness ensues. Constantly searching for the next big thing, a thrill, some form of satisfaction from out there, all the while, “it’s an Inside Job”
Bringing my attention back to my body and where and when I am. It’s like a broken or scratched record. To break the habit of dwelling in my thoughts and the particular appetites that I want to feed, in lieu of residing in my being.
- Recognize and acknowledge what I am grateful for.
- Let those who matter, know that I appreciate them, no matter what I think they think.
- Be quiet and still for my own benefit. “put the oxygen mask on first, before helping others with theirs”
- Praise and thank God for all the blessings, strength and forgiveness He has given.
- Go in Peace
This is another repeat track but is so relevant, from the album title and song to the music Thank you, I will always love you
Those five points will get you through the other side in time…

Have you try introspection?

We are always advancing, searching- so there is enormous value in bringing oneself to account, each day, and then moving forward. There is no value in sitting as if stuck in a puddle of muck.
