80 On Seeing Clearly-- Simple Truths




EXPERIENCE has taught us that if we have released our pain and faced our fears, searched out and exorcised our demons, then it is important that we know enough to let them go, leave them alone after that.  Don’t go back and play with them.  They are not entrails to be gone through, they are not a part of our identity, they are not who we are, they are simply manifestations of what happened to us.
So many of us treat this process as if it were once dirty laundry but now is clean, so we go out and gather it all back up, thinking we’ve found some lost possessions that need to come home. 
They’re not.  They are simply the by-products of what happened. They’re history -- let them go.
They are to be left at the side of the road for our Higher Power to pick up and use or discard as It pleases.


Remember:
You Can’t Make Things Different
By Keeping Them The Same.
