As much as i long to help you, i can’t if…

At what speed do you see yourself being proactive?

 

As much as i long to help you, i can’t if there is an imminent threat of codependence.

i refuse to be, or remain, codependent.

And if needed, i will surrender my inability to influence positive change.

Walking away isn’t weakness, it’s caring.

It’s caring for my own health and the health of my Family.

You have to decide how you want to spend your days.

When you get defensive at literally everything i say, i refuse to engage that way.

If you humble yourself, take responsibility for your emotions, and react in a civil and professional manner we have an opportunity for progress.

Why would we choose the most difficult alternative?

In 1972, a lifetime ago, i won a trip to Disneyland.

 

Of course, it’s hard to make consistently great life choices.

What the heck though.

Isn’t it equally as difficult living with poor choices?

By the way, this applies to our spiritual health as much as it applies to our physical health.

So given the choice, why would we choose the most difficult alternative?

Truth.

 

Without a (10-year) plan (metaphorically speaking)…

i was a sinking ship.

There is no place worth going if we do not picture a vibrant future.

So each morning with no place worth going, we default to focusing on medicating, distracting, and entertaining ourselves to numb our pain from knowing we are moving slowly and in line for the metaphorical slaughter.

Should simple prayers start our day before everything else?

Should simple prayers start our day before everything else?

If no, why?

If yes, are we doing it every single morning?

If no, why?
