As we walk the path of life, we must pick up the scraps of paper that come our way. These experiences, both good and bad, are sacred teachings. Criticizing ourselves for mistakes is not the way of the spiritual Warrior. Instead, we must learn from our mistakes and seek guidance for the future.
In recovery, we must let go of the masks we wear to hide our true selves. These false images were created out of fear, insecurity, and a lack of self-esteem. By shedding these masks and embracing our true selves, we allow our self-esteem to grow. We must be willing to be vulnerable and trust in our true identity.
Just for today, let us walk the path of life with authenticity and self-acceptance. Let us embrace the sacred teachings of our experiences and allow our self-esteem to flourish.
