Thursday Chip: Content/Envious

Thursday Chip: Content/Envious

Being envious means I may be discontent or covet what
another person might have, their success or possessions.
I can remember coming to the meetings and wishing I
had the recovery that others in the rooms had, their
peace of mind.

Today, I am content with where I’m at, but still willing
to work for that serenity and peace. I am right exactly
where I am suppose to be. There are still lessons for me
to learn, more steps I need to work on and defects that
need to be worked on…..

Peace on the journey…. SunnyGirl

What is really nice is being able to be content and at peace when chaos is around you. I am not much of a 'stuff' kind of person. As long as I have a roof over my head and food to eat, I don't require much of anything other than my computer, my bridge, and a place to read my books and watch TV. There was a period in my life that I never watch TV for 2 years.

When I came into the program, I too wanted what the others had. The next thing I knew, I had it and sometimes more. Sometimes people take steps backward, others stand still, yet it is ever my goal to keep moving forward. I am content to be in the moment. I am not content to stay there, and as you say, there is always more to learn, more healing to be done, and new avenues to explore.
