There's nothing more rewarding than feeling that sense of satisfaction when hard work pays off. It can be a long, (sometimes) slow process.
On the latest Daniel Lanois doco, Brian Eno says "...beautiful things can come out of shit. And if people realise this they can lead a different life."
My decision to stop drinking came out of an unfortunate event and some medical advise. And from out of a negative experience and the negative space I was in I now feel something positive has come out of it. It reconnected me with my spiritual side, I've lost weight, have improved my wellbeing, I now have some very positive goals and have been more present for other people. Spiritual experiences have also popped up in the most unlikely places.
Something I read the other day made the very interesting observation that a person who gives up drinking doesn't just give up once, they have to keep giving up . Hmmm, an interesting thought to ponder.
Peace, love & mung beans
