I am at another cross roads in my life and I would like for
someone to tell me exactly what I should do to have things turn out exactly the
way I want them to even if I am not sure what it is that I want.
That pretty much sums
it up for me. On my best days I am happy and not fearful of the future and on
my worst days I want to crawl into bed an pull the covers over my head. I
sometimes tell myself you are a powerful person and you can do anything you
want with the help of your higher power.
Other times my
mind reviews all of the mistakes I have made and I think about how crazy I have
been these past years and what if I will never be the person I used to be.
Maybe I am all washed up and now what am I suppose to do?
Do I really want to be the person I use to be?
The pendulum
swings from one extreme to another and I keep regurgitating my insecurity to
other people hoping they will somehow sooth this never ending fear I have that
this won't work out. The this I a referring to is my life.
Step Three -
Made a decision to turn our will and our life over to the care as we understand
him.
I never really do
this on the big stuff until I have driven myself nuts. I have to exhaust my
mortal options before I consider that I am not in this alone and that maybe
someone out there loves me. I have been taken care of before I can't name one
situation where the ultimate result wasn't better than I could have imagined.
Does this fact
calm me or make me feel better when I am about to take a big leap into the
unknown. Absolutely not. I get stuck in "I need more information" or
worst trying to get the opinion of my friends (which are totally sick of hearing me
stuck) I know this because they have told me.
Why must I torture
myself with indecision forever before making a decision? I don't know. Actually I
do know it is because I might make a mistake and end up worse off than I am
now.
The only decision I need to make is the one in Step Three. I think I am ready now to let go again.
It helps to do the footwork and then turn it over. I know that I take what actions I can--HP wants me to do something for myself. And then I realize that I am powerless over so much and let go.
