Sharing our experiences with other people gives them hope.
Most of us used to feel desperate, overwhelmed with fear, about our lives or someone else’s life. Our worry was incessant, and we doubted we’d ever be free of it. But the darkness began to recede when people in the program shared how they had handled a similar situation.
Hearing that traumatic times are survivable, gives us the strength to continue our journey.
From other voices we hear hope, and we realize that we’ll be okay.
Giving away what we have learned continues the miracle of hope. In this way we are the keepers of our brothers and sisters. Making the journey smoother for someone else lightens our own struggle every day.
Today’s Affirmation:
Helping someone by sharing a part of my life today will help me remember the lessons I have learned.
