...often we are afforded stark reminders of what doesn't work.
We thought something was missing from our lives so we tried to bring It back with liquor, sex, food, gambling and reaching for the company of those with lesser goals and dreams. Here, we found solace in membership. Failure was not only expected, but rewarded with empathy.
It Takes some of us longer than others to realize that our relationship with these vices has begun to chip away at our serenity. Stroke by stroke we buried the spade trying to dig our way out of an ever expanding hole.
If we stop for a moment and let Love replace the efforts we've put into relieving ourselves of strife, we begin to understand that to take is to lose, and that to give away is to keep. The longer and harder we beat ourselves over the head with a proverbial hammer, the better it feels when we stop!
