Recovery Does Exist – Page 2 – Transformed By Truth

Life

The chaos of life can be overwhelming. I attribute my resilience to my study of stoicism. The lessons I learn from stoic philosophy are incredible and immeasurable. Meditations had provided me tremendous insight. No, it is not a book of cheat codes, but it does contain valuable information and tactics to navigate the rough watersContinue reading “Life”

Perspective is Primary

The way I see things can change every aspect of a situation. Perspective can completely dismantle a particular argument I might have in a debate. I have had many experiences in life where I started with a perspective that was closed off. There was nothing and no one in existence that could change the wayContinue reading “Perspective is Primary”

Closing Time

I was at a meeting last week and someone shared about making amends to themselves. I started listening and then I thought to myself.

It’s Been A While

For that, I apologize. I intend on being mindful to ensure I remain consistent on the platforms I want to see growth from.
