[mylifeismine] Big picture & current discussions



To open, as a reminder, here is the description of this group:

Description
Clear the blocks holding you back - no more worry, anxiety, stress or depression. Get back in control!

Recent discussions have centered on how much suffering and hardship individual members are experiencing. As Perry has demostrated, we ALL have experienced periods of challenge, and situations that have taken us to the brink of asking: Is life worth living? This is not a competition to justify who's experience is the worst, because all that is doing is trying to justify a negative approach to life. If a persons purpose is to justify how difficult life is, and how hard we have to struggle, the answer will be a resonding negative, & will result in depression and possible suicide, or similar.

Many of us have been there, probably the majority of the planets' population have experienced this.

By stepping back & looking at the big picture, not dwelling in our own individual suffering, we might achieve hope. Perry has provided many quotes to this end, and that is the purpose of us joining together here. This is a 'self-help' group, we join to share positive with each other, to find a new perspective to help us progress, to find a glimmer in the darkness, and a way to nurture that glimmer to the flame of positive conviction.

Like Perry, I prefer not to indulge the many negatives that have brought me to tis point in my life: I believe the point is to celebrate the strengths that brought me through those times and situations.

If you do choose to dwell in negative, please do not berate or belittle others who choose to live with hope. Each of us has choice, an initial choice is on this forum is to celebrate what opportunities we have, which have manifested through the hard times we have experienced. Life is about lessons, Welcome to Earth School. Open your mind to the lessons which present, and then apply what you have learnt.

There are many positive, giving people on this forum, who have provided much insight and strength to myself and others (Perry, Sangita, and others come to mind). I truly hope that we are able to maintain this attitude for everyones benefit.

All the best,
Gail

[mylifeismine] Re: numb



Hi,

May I reassure you that you can go through this period with grace and peace.

Know that that the problems of today will soon be yesterday's history.

Move on with life yet continue to write to your daughter.

When she calls and hurls abuse just listen to her and thank her politely at the end of the call.

Have a good week,

d

Dear Kim,

You say I've been living under a rock watching but never experiencing life?

Let me indulge you then. Here is my litany of tragedies:

I could have DIED in 1970 (when I was 10) when a playmate shot me through the mouth with an air rifle. My front tooth shattered. BUT it was that tooth that saved my life.

My best friend passed away in 2002 - not from suicide - but a stroke.. He was 42.

I have pointed a kitchen knife at my own heart when I found out my wife had an affair. (Obviously the knife never went in!)

My biological father was never around when I needed him. BUT in 2002 I visited him - as he had prostate cancer. It was HE (not I) who cried. He passed away soon after.

My first serious girlfriend broke up with me in 1980 just before the FINAL quarter of our graduation year! She moved to Canada and married my high school classmate!

Have I ever gone hungry and without any money to buy lunch for that day? Yes. Have I ever been drunk? Yes. Have I smoked a joint? Yes. Have I taken any prohibited drug? No. Have I visited a prostitute? Guess.

My point? All the above are my "bad" memories. I say now: SO WHAT? I look back with a smirk and a toss on my head - and like Clint Eastwood say, "Go ahead, punk, make my day!"

This ONCE I have indulged you with negativity. When you're ready to MOVE FORWARD, I'll indulge you with the GOOD memories.

Perry
