The Power of NOW! It can be hard to live in the emotion of the moment and then move on to the next one. It requires a great deal of self honesty, self knowledge and self awareness. Oh, and should I also say, COURAGE.
I walked to school with my feet (sometimes even when it was raining). Mum still doesn't drive. I climbed trees. I didn't get taken to the doctor at the first sneeze and I'm still here.
Swap walking stick for a protractor and either a book of tables or a scientific calculator. Walk say 50 feet out from the tree and measure the angle to the top of the tree. Lets say it's 60 degrees.
These people already have women's brains and it has turned very badly. Perhaps we'll try re-educating them with the empty men's brains you have in stock.
Hi. In my life I've known some hard times. Although I was not to blame for it, my outlook and view of the world was fear based and left me isolated with many of the unhelpful emotions you mention leading to both depression and retreating into heavy drinking which only accelerated the problems.
My point here, is that we all inhabit the same world but see it in different ways, some of which can be self destructive.
Now here's the rub. I found that I did not have the mental capacity, objectivity or information to think my way out of it. I am not a stupid or uneducated man, but that is a fact. I needed a lot of counselling and it took a lot of time but it is worth it. So I can only suggest counselling and if the alcohol is costing you more than money, then go to AA. They will certainly give you the tools, the courage and the strength to face your demons.
mmmm. God was not quite as giving in the parent department to me I'm afraid. If he deserves the credit for yours then he must deserve the blame for mine. I certainly didn't ask for them. Perhaps God shouldn't be viewed as Santa Claus.
It's irrational, but despite what books say about man, I am irrational, I fight against the very things that I cry out for, but I am told love is stronger than strong walls. In this lies my hope, my only hope, please help beat down those walls with firm hands, but with gentle hands--for a child is very sensitive.
Who am I, you may wonder? I am someone you know very well. For I am every man you meet and I am every women you meet.
If you had nothing more to learn then life wouldn't be worth living. For what it's worth, I believe I only know as much of me as I'm prepared to disclose to another human being and sometimes that scares me. What do I have hiding in those inner recesses? But for what it's worth I would be fairly certain that the charming man you met deep down has similar fears to your own. Go for it hon. Pleanty of time for regrets in Eternity!
I've discovered through bitter experience that it is better to learn to swim. Once I know how to keep myself afloat, maybe then I can consider life saving lessons. I wish you all the best!
