  • saying

    • You may think that there are a thousand different things being done in recovery, really there's just a thousand different ways of saying a few simple things. 


    from PM

    • In this life, I can find a way to fight or can find a way to add value to what I can stand for;  both seem the same but have different approaches.

    •  well then that not be how I can use anonymity as a foundation to just show up to my life,  just maybe just maybe;  with that being said would I then be able to find a piece of mind if I was always fighting?

    •  for myself in and of itself,  this thing we call the ego: Being that I call my aspect of ego (Being a teacher itself) by my name;  for that's the thing I find serenity from now seeing that I'm a student to all the teachers around.

    •  all the gifts within this present moment,  bring a presence of what I can interpret;  now I can interpret the good and the bad:  for those both and in simple facts of itself that it is just as what it is:  and yet that dives more into a philosophy of the evolution of energy/ spirit/ soul,  upon what is then that of the actual interaction of physicality to identify as the ego or that of the realization and reflection of that I am energy and I have an ego to use how I choose.

    • For it's all based around my willingness,  and how honest I can be;  through that of my level of how open I am to understanding what I can bring to the table through honor.

    •  even those moments where I so easily beat myself up for hurting myself, surely but slowly for this true that I did as such; but is that unjust in my actuality of Honor as maybe portrayed in the slogan commonly known as “ love thy neighbor as thyself,”  for would that just not be another way of saying to be a leader as a trust /  the teacher is the ultimate student that stays teachable: per say highlighting humility;  which all leads to how willing and open one is to have honor of oneself?

    •  for I say that,  the honor of when I was active in my addiction it helped me find some way to get to this moment,  and yes it is committing suicide surely but slowly,  and yet it was just a tool to help me come to a point where I'm able to ask for relief;  to not totally have to per say do what is reincarnation and start over I have no concept of my wrongs and so in a sense of itself I have not yet learned the lesson;  from that standpoint energy is everything and you cannot be destroyed it can just change form,”  so with levity and light-hearted aspects of that self to not solely rest on my laurels ( past actions or even in simplistic aspects of itself of the last Serenity Prayer)  and maybe even more of a philosophified concept of itself that:  it could take me forever to change but I will still change it will just take me forever /  as the same way of saying  Unstoppable is just another way of saying stoppable:  for all our paradox in the light-hearted nature of what could seem as the negative of a paradox is a double entender.

  • I can either fight or add value to what I stand for. I can use anonymity to show up in my life and find peace, instead of always fighting my ego. I find serenity in being a student to all the teachers around me. I can interpret the good and the bad in the present moment. It's all based on my willingness and honesty. I can be a leader and have honor. Even my addiction helped me find a way to ask for relief, instead of starting over through reincarnation. Energy is everything and cannot be destroyed, it can only change form. I will change, even if it takes forever.

Rephrased

  • I can either find a way to fight in life or find a way to add value to what I stand for. Both options seem similar, but they take different approaches. If I were always fighting, would I be able to find peace of mind?


  • I find serenity in my ego, being a teacher. I see myself as a student to all of the teachers around me. In the present moment, I can interpret both good and bad. This leads to a philosophy of the evolution of energy, spirit, and soul. I have an ego, and I can use it how I choose.


  • Everything is based on my willingness and honesty and how open I am to understanding what I can bring to the table through honor. I beat myself up for hurting myself, but is that unjust? Shouldn't I love myself as I love my neighbor? To be a leader is to be trustworthy, and a teacher is the ultimate student who remains teachable. This highlights humility and leads to self-honor.


  • The honor I had when I was active in my addiction helped me get to this moment. Addiction is slow suicide, but it was a tool that helped me ask for relief. I have not yet learned my lesson, and energy is everything. You cannot be destroyed; you can only change form. With levity and lightheartedness, I will not rest on my laurels. It could take me forever to change, but I will still change. Unstoppable is just another way of saying stoppable. The negative of a paradox is a double entendre.

Elaborate


  • In life, we are constantly faced with choices. We can choose to fight against the challenges that come our way, or we can find ways to add value to the situations we encounter. Both approaches require effort, but they differ in their focus and impact. Fighting implies resistance and struggle, while adding value suggests a more proactive and constructive approach.


  • The concept of anonymity can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. When we are not bound by the expectations and judgments of others, we are free to be ourselves and explore our true potential. However, if we are constantly fighting against our own inner demons or external pressures, we may never find the peace of mind that we seek.


  • The ego can be both a source of strength and a source of conflict. It is important to be aware of our ego and how it influences our thoughts and actions. By recognizing the ego as a separate entity, we can learn to manage it and use it in a positive way. When we are able to see ourselves as both a teacher and a student, we open ourselves up to a world of learning and growth.


  • The present moment is a gift that offers endless possibilities. It is up to us to interpret and make meaning of the experiences that come our way. We can choose to focus on the positive or the negative, but ultimately, it is all just energy. Our ego allows us to interact with the physical world, but it is important to remember that we are more than just our ego. We are energy, and we have the power to choose how we use that energy.


  • Our willingness to be honest and open is essential for personal growth and development. When we are willing to face our own shortcomings and learn from our mistakes, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. Honor and integrity are essential for building trust and respect, both in ourselves and in others.


  • Even when we make mistakes and hurt ourselves, it is important to remember that we are still worthy of love and respect. The saying "love thy neighbor as thyself" reminds us that we should treat others with the same compassion and understanding that we would like to receive. True leadership involves humility and a willingness to learn from others.


  • Our past experiences, both positive and negative, have shaped who we are today. Even our addictions and self-destructive behaviors can teach us valuable lessons about ourselves and the world around us. The concept of reincarnation suggests that we have multiple opportunities to learn and grow. Energy is constantly changing form, and we are all part of that cycle.


  • Change is inevitable, but it can take time. The saying "unstoppable is just another way of saying stoppable" reminds us that even the most daunting challenges can be overcome with patience and perseverance. Paradoxes and double entendres can be used to add depth and complexity to our understanding of the world.

Formal

  • In this existence, I can choose to engage in conflict or contribute positively to my principles. While seemingly similar, these approaches differ significantly.


  • Furthermore, the notion that anonymity can serve as a justification for existing passively in life warrants scrutiny. Would perpetual conflict truly lead to peace of mind?


  • Regarding the concept of ego, I recognize my aspect as an instructor, identifying it by my name. I have found tranquility in acknowledging that I am perpetually a student to the myriad teachers surrounding me.


  • The present moment is replete with opportunities for interpretation. I can discern both positive and negative aspects. These are simply factual occurrences. This reflection extends to a philosophical exploration of the evolution of energy, spirit, or soul, and the interplay between physicality and ego, or the realization that I am energy with an ego I can direct as I see fit.


  • Ultimately, all hinges on my willingness and honesty. Specifically, it depends on the degree to which I am receptive to comprehending the value I can contribute through integrity.


  • Even in instances where I condemn myself for self-inflicted harm, an act I readily acknowledge, is such self-criticism justifiable in light of the principle of honor? Perhaps this relates to the adage, “love thy neighbor as thyself,” which might also be interpreted as a call to leadership rooted in trust. The teacher remains perpetually a student, highlighting humility, all of which leads back to one’s willingness and openness to self-honor.


  • I assert that my past addictive behavior, while a form of slow self-destruction, served as a catalyst for my current state. It was a means to reach a point where I could seek relief, avoiding a figurative “reincarnation” or restart. Without acknowledging my errors, I would remain unable to learn the necessary lessons. Energy is inherently indestructible, merely undergoing transformation. With this understanding, I strive to avoid complacency based on past actions, including recent recitations of the Serenity Prayer. Philosophically, change may be a protracted process, but it remains inevitable. In the same vein, “unstoppable” can be viewed as a synonym for “stoppable.” The inherent paradoxes in the apparent negativity are, in fact, double entendres.

Casual 

  • I can choose to fight or add value to what I stand for; they seem similar but are different approaches.


  • Using anonymity as a way to show up to my life might not be the answer. Would I ever find peace if I'm always fighting?


  • I call my ego (as a teacher) by my name, which gives me serenity. I see myself as a student to all the teachers around me.


  • In this moment, I see both good and bad, and accept them as they are. This leads to a discussion about the evolution of energy, spirit, or soul, and how physicality interacts with the ego. I realize that I am energy and I can choose how to use my ego.


  • It all comes down to my willingness, honesty, and openness to understanding what I bring to the table through honor.


  • Even when I beat myself up for past mistakes, perhaps that's part of "love thy neighbor as thyself," or being a leader as a trustworthy student. It's about humility and being willing to have honor for myself.


  • My addiction, while self-destructive, helped me reach this point where I can ask for help. Instead of starting over, I can learn my lessons now. Energy cannot be destroyed, it just changes form. With that in mind, I shouldn't dwell on the past or just the Serenity Prayer. It might take me forever to change, but I will change, just as "unstoppable" is another way of saying "stoppable." All our paradoxes, even the negative ones, can have double meanings.

Summarize 

  • This text reflects on personal growth, ego, and finding peace. It explores the duality of fighting versus adding value, the use of anonymity, and the concept of ego as both a teacher and student. It emphasizes the importance of present moments, interpreting experiences, and understanding oneself as energy with an ego. The text also delves into honesty, honor, self-forgiveness, and the idea that past actions, even those associated with addiction, can lead to personal development. It concludes with a reflection on change, paradoxes, and the continuous process of learning and evolution.


Bullet points

  • In this life, I can find a way to fight or can find a way to add value to what I can stand for; both seem the same but have different approaches.

  • Anonymity should not be a foundation to just show up to my life; would I find peace if always fighting?

  • I call my aspect of ego (being a teacher) by my name, finding serenity in being a student to all teachers around.

  • All the gifts within this present moment bring a presence of what I can interpret, both good and bad; this dives into a philosophy of the evolution of energy/spirit/soul, and the interaction of physicality to identify as ego or the reflection that I am energy and I have an ego to use how I choose.

  • It's all based on my willingness, honesty, and openness to understanding what I can bring to the table through honor.

  • Even moments of beating myself up for hurting myself, is that unjust in my actuality of honor, as in “love thy neighbor as thyself,” or being a leader as a trust? The teacher is the ultimate student that stays teachable, highlighting humility, which leads to willingness and openness to having honor of oneself.

  • The honor of being active in my addiction helped me get to this moment, a slow suicide, but a tool to ask for relief; not to start over, but to learn the lesson. Energy is everything and cannot be destroyed, just changed. With levity, not solely resting on past actions, perhaps a philosophified concept: it could take forever to change, but I will still change. Unstoppable is just another way of saying stoppable; all paradox in the light-hearted nature is a double entendre.

 Empathetic


  • In this life, I can find a way to fight or find a way to add value to what I can stand for; both seem the same, but they have different approaches. I understand that both approaches require effort, but fighting implies resistance and struggle, while adding value suggests a more proactive and constructive approach.


  • I'm also pondering whether using anonymity as a foundation to just show up in my life is the right approach. If I were always fighting, would I be able to find peace of mind?


  • I find serenity in my ego, being a teacher. Yet, I see myself as a student to all the teachers around me, which brings me peace. In the present moment, I can interpret both good and bad. I understand that it's all just energy, and I have an ego that I can use as I choose.


  • Everything is based on my willingness and honesty and how open I am to understanding what I can bring to the table through honor. I know that I beat myself up for hurting myself, but is that just? Shouldn't I love myself as I love my neighbor? I want to be a leader and have honor, and I understand that being a teacher means being a student who remains teachable. This highlights humility and leads to self-honor.


  • I acknowledge that my addiction, while self-destructive, helped me reach this point where I can ask for help. Instead of starting over, I can learn my lessons now. I understand that energy cannot be destroyed, it just changes form. With that in mind, I shouldn't dwell on the past or just the Serenity Prayer. It might take me forever to change, but I will change, just as "unstoppable" is another way of saying "stoppable." All our paradoxes, even the negative ones, can have double meanings.

Alternative viewpoint

  • The author seems to be heavily focused on their own personal journey and interpretations. While introspection is valuable, it's also important to consider external perspectives and feedback. The author might benefit from seeking out diverse viewpoints and challenging their own assumptions. Additionally, the text appears to be quite self-referential and could be more impactful if it explored broader themes and connected with experiences beyond the author's individual narrative.

  • Finding humility: And all moments I must find a level of humility, I say that I must because I get to in the sense of what value is there; as then when I see the value that is there because it is,  I know how I can be the proper teacher which is truly just a servant that is a trusted leader always willing to bring something to the table but have the humility to just let things be and not judge things unworthy because that is the power of anonymity and then let go and that God.

  • I must find humility in all moments. When I see the inherent value in something, I can be a proper teacher, a servant leader who contributes but also lets things be. This is the power of anonymity; let go and let God.



Rephrased

  • I must find humility in every moment. I must because I am able to; I see the inherent value in doing so. When I recognize this value, I know that I can be the best teacher (a servant who is a trusted leader). I am always willing to contribute, but I also have the humility to let things be and to withhold judgment. This is the power of anonymity; letting go and letting God.



Elaborate


  • Finding humility in all moments is crucial. This involves recognizing the inherent value in every situation and interaction. By understanding this value, one can become a true teacher—a servant leader who contributes meaningfully while maintaining the humility to accept things as they are.


  • This humility extends to avoiding judgment and recognizing the power of anonymity. It involves letting go and trusting in a higher power, recognizing that true leadership lies in service, understanding, and acceptance.



Formal

  • It is imperative to cultivate humility in all circumstances. This is not an obligation, but rather an opportunity to recognize intrinsic value. By acknowledging the inherent worth of all things, one can effectively serve as an educator, assuming the role of a trusted leader. This entails a willingness to contribute meaningfully, while simultaneously possessing the humility to allow events to unfold naturally without imposing judgment. Such an approach embraces the power of anonymity, relinquishes control, and defers to a higher power.



Casual 


  • Finding humility is crucial. In every situation, I need to find a sense of humility, and I say 'need' because it's actually a privilege. What's valuable here? Once I see the inherent value in everything, I know how to be a good teacher—which really just means being a servant and a trusted leader. Someone always ready to contribute, but also humble enough to let things be and not dismiss anything as unworthy. That's the power of stepping back, letting go, and trusting.



Summarize 

  • To find humility in every moment is a valuable practice, allowing one to see the inherent value in things and to become a better teacher, a servant-leader. True leadership involves being willing to offer something but also having the humility to let things be, to avoid judgment, and to embrace the power of anonymity, ultimately surrendering to God.



Bullet points

  • Finding humility is essential in all moments.

  • Humility allows seeing the inherent value in things.

  • Recognizing value enables being a proper teacher, which is a servant and trusted leader.

  • A trusted leader is willing to contribute but also lets things be without judgment.

  • Anonymity's power allows for letting go and trusting God.



 Empathetic


  • In every moment, it's important to find humility. It's not always easy, but it is always possible. When you see the value in something, you can teach others. And the best teachers are servants who lead by example. They are always willing to help, but they also know when to step back and let things be.


Alternative viewpoint

  • While humility is generally seen as a positive trait, some may argue that excessive humility can be detrimental. It might prevent individuals from recognizing their own worth and potential, leading to missed opportunities and a lack of self-confidence. Additionally, some might view humility as a form of self-effacement that can hinder personal growth and ambition.

I only have what I can give and that is how I'm able to keep it,  it's that simple fact of the matter that  I lose interest in selfish things to gain interest in my fellows;  within that of the hope That I will comprehend the word serenity and know  freedom.

  • I lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in others. I hope to find serenity and freedom.

Rephrased

  • I can only keep what I can give. It's a simple fact that I lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in my fellows. I hope to comprehend the word serenity and know freedom within this.

Elaborate

  • The core principle that guides my actions is that I can only hold onto something by giving it away. This is a simple truth: I find that selfish pursuits lose their appeal, and instead, I am drawn towards the well-being of others. In doing so, I harbor the hope that I will truly understand the meaning of serenity and experience genuine freedom.


Formal

  • The ability to retain possessions is contingent upon the capacity for giving. The inherent truth is that self-centered pursuits diminish, while interest in others flourishes. This fosters a hope for comprehending serenity and attaining freedom.

Casual 

  • I only have what I can give, and that's how I keep it.  Essentially, I find that I lose interest in selfish things when I focus on others. It's all about the hope of understanding serenity and finding freedom.


Summarize 

  • Sharing what I have allows me to keep it, as I lose interest in selfish things to gain interest in others. This brings hope for serenity and freedom.

Bullet points

  • I only have what I can give and that is how I'm able to keep it.

  • It's that simple fact of the matter that I lose interest in selfish things to gain interest in my fellows.

  • Within that is the hope that I will comprehend the word serenity and know freedom.

 Empathetic


  • I only have what I can give and that is how I'm able to keep it, it's that simple fact of the matter that I lose interest in selfish things to gain interest in my fellows;  within that of the* *hope That I will comprehend the word serenity and know  freedom.

Alternative viewpoint

  • By focusing on giving to others, I paradoxically retain more for myself. This shift in perspective naturally leads me away from self-centered pursuits and fosters a genuine concern for the well-being of those around me. As a result of this transformation, I am filled with optimism that I will ultimately grasp the true essence of serenity and experience genuine liberation.

For it’s about carrying a message

For it’s about carrying a message, trusting in your higher power; Practicing the principles in all your affairs. my journey about what is in this meaning within each thing within the wording of Pancake Marathon: you can also go to 


keep not hurting

I know that isolating can be a big factor in keep not hurting,  so essentially don't isolate always Reach Out;  and maybe today you're willing to leave a comment and let me know essentially where you're at in your recovery and maybe you're ready to carry a message so share this whatever it may be in a way of giving somebody else a chance at a place where you started:  

  • as maybe you started here and maybe this is where you find a way to start because it's always about how you finish not how you start but it's also about carrying the message and finding your way back to trust in a peace of mind; As giving freely what you didn't have been given.  

  • thank you and always know your shoes do fit just right,  that you do deserve to take a space;  and it's okay to let go of that hurt when you're ready,  I hope that you are today in this moment;  thank you.
