...thoughts for the week...
"...going sane feels just like going crazy"
"just as a recovering alcoholic must avoid that first drink, so recovering creatives must avoid that first 'think.'"
"do not let your self-doubt turn into self-sabotage."
"not surprisingly the most poisonous playmates for us as recovering creatives are people whose creativity is still blocked. our recovery threatens them. blocked friends may find your recovery disturbing."
"your own healing is the greatest message of hope to others."
...do you have any crazymakers in your life?...
crazymakers...
-break deals and destroy schedules
-expect special treatment
-discount your reality
-spend your time and money
-triangulate those they deal with and pit people against each other
-are expert blamers
-create dramas but seldom where they belong
-hate schedules except their own
-hate order
-deny they are crazymakers
...begin to pay attention...
"...survival lies in sanity and sanity lies in paying attention...success or failure, the truth of life really has little to do with its quality...the quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight...the capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention..."
"...pain is what it took to teach me to pay attention..." the moment we are in is always a safe place for us...each moment, taken alone, is always bearable...
...in closing...
"draw a sacred circle around your recovery..."
