I listen, but do I learn

So many things have come up to light the last few months that it's difficult to keep track. The parallel between NA meetings and the online course that I'm taking about healing my relationship with LP is amazing. Step work and course work both lay out a path for a new way to live. As I learn more about others in these programs I see them struggling with situations that are identical to those laid out in the work. I see them struggle and most fail... then again failure is usually the more obvious than success and as human beings we tend to fret over what we're having trouble with rather than focus on our successes. As I see these people struggle and stumble I wonder if I do the same. I try to speak out and give encouragement and direction, but am I capable of taking my own advice. I think I've been doing a better job of this lately. I'm grateful for the new experiences that have been opening up my awareness to the way I deal with life. I hope to improve and and create a lasting change in how I react in uncomfortable situations. I've been listening for a long time. I would like to constantly apply this information day to day. It's time to grow. I really want a new way to live.

Je t'aime, mon coeur.
