Why I Pray In The Shower

As I grow older there may be times when I experience a few more aches and pains than I use to and I can accept this. However, I don’t have to accept any emotional pains I may experience.  I’ve learned that although there are times when someone may hurt me by something they say or do, I don’t have to stay hurt.  This is because not only have I grown older, but I’ve also grown bolder in my love for others.

Know anyone who lives up to the idiom “Fly by the seat of one’s pants?“ It’s basically a person who isn’t afraid to do something even though they don’t have the experience or training required to do it.  I do, and like to think of myself as someone who flies by the seat of my pants when it comes to facing different fears and insecurities in my life.  However, at one time I was the type of person who flew by the seat of my emotions and know quite a few people who still do.  These people seem to always let whatever emotions they’re feeling at the time, whether it’s happiness, sadness, anger, worry, ect… affect their behaviors and sometimes their actions towards others. Usually this is because they’ve done this all their lives and never practiced restraint or felt a need to change the way they behave. Mostly these types live in the extremes of happiness or the negative emotions they feel over their immediate circumstances. It took me a long time to stop “living” by the seat of my emotions and simply begin living life, but eventually through practice and help from others who would point out my often erratic and sometimes hurtful behavior’s, I found an emotional balance that has served me quite well over the years.

I’ve been trying to be a better person than I was before for quite some time now and although I have and continue to do so, it’s not always easy for me. There’s times when after letting certain things bother me I occasionally act out in ways I don’t like myself for. Fortunately however, when I do I’m able to remind myself that it’s not who I am and not beat myself up for it. I attribute this ability to love myself even when I don’t like myself to the spiritual and personal growth I’ve obtained in my life. I also remind myself of my own personal words of wisdom I included in my book under Growth. “Part of spiritual growth is knowing you will always need to grow, and part of personal growth is realizing this even more.”
