The Set Aside Prayer (or lay aside prayer): Dear God,  please set aside everything I think I know About myself, this book, my disease, these steps,  and especially about you dear God  so that I might have an open mind And a new experience  with all these things.  Please help me to see the truth.

  • Giving time time,  is something I almost forget to do sometimes;  along with that Serenity Prayer.

  •  and yet kind of my gratitude,  the things that I love and do have is almost a key to my  serenity;  for all I can think of is “what is in motion,  it stays in motion.”

  • As I'm finding as well as those moments to just see the value of,  to not judge something unworthy;  and to keep adding value as I bring stuff to the table.

  •  it does help to  emit that I am moments away from burning down my life,  that something to me is not okay;  and the thing that's not okay it's me and how I feel.

  •  it's not that the feeling that I'm feeling is wrong,  for I know that it simply comes down to the simple fact that I need to validate/ that of accept that I feel this way;  then once I feel the feeling that I have,  I get to move to a solution.

  • I'm also learning to see the value in things, to not judge them as unworthy, and to keep adding value to everything I do.


  • I admit that I feel like I'm moments away from burning down my life, that something is not okay. What's not okay is me and how I feel.  The feeling itself isn't wrong. I know that I simply need to validate and accept that I feel this way; once I do that, I can move toward a solution.

 Empathetic

  • It sounds like you're grappling with a lot of emotions and thoughts right now. It's important to remember to give yourself time and space to process these feelings. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and like things are not okay. It's also brave of you to acknowledge that the root of these feelings lies within you. Remember, it's okay to feel the way you feel; validating your emotions is the first step toward finding a solution and moving forward.

Alternative viewpoint

  • While it's valuable to give time time, it's equally important to take action and not get stuck in inertia. Instead of solely focusing on gratitude for what's present, one could actively seek out opportunities and add value proactively. Rather than fearing the potential for self-destruction, it might be beneficial to embrace the feeling as a catalyst for change and growth. Accepting the feeling is crucial, but it's equally important to analyze its root cause and address the underlying issue, thereby preventing a recurrence of the negative emotion.

are wisdom written in shorthand and Acronyms are just the sum/the Virtues, of all that wisdom: WISDOM: When In Self, Discover Our Motives


I let go and let God,  and I find serenity because of it;  I come to a moment of comprehending that word serenity as well.  it's not that it doesn't suck  or that it's great,  it's just that I am only good if I'm good for others;  if I control too much from a self-seeking standpoint the world ends and all there is is anarchy.   Anarchy/ fear is all of them I will ever know,  but because of me showing up to my life in the miracle that it is; I have a sense of peace,  and when I have a sense of peace I will have Clarity and serenity.  only when I go ahead and Q-Tip  will I stay willing: By staying teachable;  it's in those moments when I see that I'm in pain because I'm being too serious:  which definitely just means in a simplest form that I am running away and isolating.  isolating from the very moment of serenity,  because I am miserable and I don't know how not to be;  That's The Power of Letting Go and letting God,  focusing on what I do want:  by putting the work in by manifesting  and  being amazed in this space(phase) of my development .

  • When I let go and let God, I find serenity. I realize that serenity doesn't mean things are great or sucky; it just means I'm only good if I'm good to others. Too much self-seeking leads to anarchy and fear. Showing up and being present brings peace, clarity, and serenity. Staying teachable keeps me willing. Pain means I'm too serious, running away, and isolating myself from serenity. I don't know how not to be miserable. Letting go and letting God means focusing on what I want, putting in the work, and being amazed at where I'm at.

Summarize 

  • Letting go and letting God brings serenity and clarity. Staying teachable and willing is key. Pain comes from being too serious, which leads to isolation and misery. The power of letting go and letting God is focusing on what one wants, putting in the work, manifesting, and being amazed at one's development.

Formal

I relinquish control and place my trust in a higher power, thereby attaining serenity. I have arrived at an understanding of the term "serenity" itself. It does not imply that difficulties cease to exist or that circumstances are uniformly positive; rather, it signifies that my well-being is contingent upon my capacity to benefit others. Should I engage in excessive control driven by self-interest, the order of things will dissolve into chaos. Chaos and fear would then dominate my existence. However, through my active participation in the miraculous unfolding of life, I experience a sense of inner peace. This peace, in turn, fosters clarity and serenity. Maintaining a state of receptivity is paramount, achieved through remaining open to instruction. Moments of suffering often indicate excessive seriousness, a manifestation of avoidance and isolation. Such isolation obstructs the very serenity sought, as it arises from a state of discontent and an inability to transcend it. The efficacy of surrendering control and placing trust lies in directing focus towards desired outcomes, through dedicated effort and manifesting intentions, thereby cultivating wonder within this developmental phase.

Bullet points

  • Letting go and letting God brings serenity and clarity.

  • Self-seeking control leads to anarchy and fear.

  • Showing up to life brings peace, clarity, and serenity.

  • Staying teachable and willing is key.

  • Pain comes from being too serious, which leads to isolation and misery.

  • The power of letting go and letting God is focusing on what is wanted.

  • Putting in the work and manifesting brings amazement and development.

Elaborate

By surrendering control and embracing a higher power, I discover serenity and a profound understanding of its essence. Serenity isn't about denying negativity or solely focusing on positivity; it's about recognizing that true goodness lies in serving others. When self-seeking control dominates, chaos and anarchy ensue. Fear becomes the sole companion.


Yet, by actively participating in the miracle of life, a sense of peace emerges, bringing clarity and serenity. Maintaining an open mind and a willingness to learn fosters a state of teachability. It is in these moments that I recognize the root of my pain: an excessive seriousness that leads to isolation and a disconnection from serenity's embrace.


Misery and the inability to escape it stem from this isolation. The solution lies in surrendering control, embracing a higher power, and directing focus towards desired outcomes. Through dedicated effort, manifestation, and awe for this phase of personal growth, transformation occurs.

Shortened

By letting go and letting God, I find serenity. I am only good if I'm good for others. When I am peaceful, I have clarity and serenity. I stay willing by staying teachable. I am in pain because I am too serious, which means I am isolating myself from serenity. That's the power of letting go and letting God, focusing on what I do want by putting in the work and being amazed at my development.

Rephrased

By surrendering to a higher power, I find serenity and come to understand its true meaning. It's not about things being good or bad, but recognizing that my well-being is tied to the well-being of others. Self-seeking control leads to chaos and fear, but by embracing life's miracles, I find peace, clarity, and serenity.


Staying teachable and open to learning helps me stay willing. In moments of pain, I realize I'm taking things too seriously, which means I'm isolating myself from serenity due to my misery. The power of letting go and focusing on what I want allows me to put in the work, manifest, and be amazed at my own development.

 Empathetic

Letting go and letting God brings serenity. Control and self-seeking lead to anarchy and fear. Showing up to life brings peace, clarity, and serenity. Staying teachable and willing is key. Pain comes from being too serious, which leads to isolation and misery. The power of letting go and letting God lies in focusing on what is wanted, putting in the work, manifesting, and being amazed at one's development.


Alternative viewpoint

I can find serenity without relying on a higher power. I can choose to focus on the positive aspects of my life and find peace within myself. By accepting that life has both good and bad moments, I can find balance and contentment.  I can take responsibility for my actions and choices, and work towards creating a fulfilling life for myself and those around me. Through self-reflection and personal growth, I can develop a sense of inner peace and clarity. By staying open to learning and new experiences, I can continue to evolve and find meaning in my life. It's through my own efforts and determination that I can create a life filled with joy and serenity.


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 


getting a peace of mind

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.
