So just how do you let go? And what do I let go of? I thought I had to plan, manage, and make everything happen. That seemed to work for others; why was I so lost, broken, and a failure? It was all too complicated, and I called my sponsor. He said, “Steve, God doesn’t make junk. Let’s look at the instruction manual.”
We opened the book, where it says to inventory our grudges, fears & sexual history. He assured me that IF I could trust the process, and a Higher Power, I’d be able to do the work necessary to get clarity, power & freedom.
It had worked for him. Why not me? So I gave it a try, and it's a process that's been paying dividends ever since!
Yesterday, my mechanic buddy Todd showed me what he discovered in the ’67 Vette - a bad connection, causing multiple problems! Why had it taken so long? I started it up, and with the top down, roared home across the 51.
Later, sitting on my patio with a friend going over his inventory, we were looking to find where his connection was broken. Like the car, it’s complicated, takes work, time and a specialist familiar with the process. But as our broken and damaged parts are discovered, we can discard them, and replace them with love and inspiration.
By going through our back pages, we discover a wonderful Spirit; we no longer have to go to the emergency rooms, psych wards, or send ourselves to the salvage yard!!
