They teach me that many of my
punishments are self-inflicted. In some way unfathomable to my human intelligence, my
suffering could be the consequence of my own attitudes, actions or neglects.

  #######ROSIE....oh i totally agree with this...i am listening to casette tapes i made for myself in MY voice,  affirmations/  OVER writing the perp's messages and i can already SEE that AS i love me more   AS i treat me better,   life GOES better....what i think/feel/behave DOES come back to me....even if it is unintended....MY attitude/actions/neglects are ALL a reflection of what i think of ME.....i kept , in the past,  setting myself up  for  "accidents/ mishaps/misfortunes/bad karma"   and it was ME/  MY attitude about me....."shit happens"  but i don't have to treat myself bad if it does.....i can only control  ME and what i think/do/say  and you can bet i "watch my thoughts and my tongue"

All of us tend to rebel against the unhappiness in our lives; we try
to understand; we resent what we cannot understand. Rebelliousness will
only heap one frustration on another until we learn to get out from under, let
go, and let God take a hand in our affairs.

#######ROSIE....oh god i fought EVERYTHING....resisted all negative things happening to me....i resented and fought my "karma"    and it is true the more i fought it the worse it got.....so i gave UP!!!!    step ONE---DETACHMENT------step TWO--may way is not working, there HAS to be a better way-----step THREE---why NOT tap into my "christ within" and let go-let God?????  good reminder,   rosie
