Kindness and Encouragement 3/14

I find these two wonderful ways of being a lot on this platform.

I honestly try to live my life by not being influenced by what other people think. I have learned through many experiences that it is me who holds all the power regarding what I think of myself and that seems to be what truly matters.

But this is different.

With that being said, I am also learning about the energy of kindness and encouragement.

It reminds me of when I was new in recovery. I walked into the recovery meetings full of insecurities, doubt, shame, remorse – all of those wonderfully vulnerable emotions.

I literally hid under a baseball cap for the first 2 years.

The people in the rooms welcomed me with smiles, hugs and words of encouragement. They said they believed in me when I could not. They told me to just stay away from a drink or drug and everything else will fall into place.

They wanted absolutely nothing from me except for me to do and feel better.

When I receive the kindness, the understanding and encouragement from others on this platform and those in recovery it literally LIFTS MY SPIRIT. I can feel it.

It is the pure energy of hearts touching hearts which is just the most powerful thing on this planet if you ask me.

I thank you all for teaching me how to be.
