Profound Changes in Ourselves

So, the meeting I went to tonight was on a chapter that contained a sentence that struck me pretty deeply.  It said, "it requires a profound change".  It made me reflect on the "profound change" I have experienced in myself from when I first got clean.  Hell, the profound change just in the past year!

I have become someone I actually appreciate being.  I have become someone I like being.  I have learned painful lessons and realized tonight that I have long since stopped asking, "Why is this happening to me?" and begun accepting responsibility for my own actions and letting go completely of the circumstances beyond my contol.

The chapter said, "Life is to be lived."  I live my life to the best of my ability at that moment in time.  If it's done in a way that brings me pain, I don't see it as having taken the wrong path.  I see it as taking a path that will somehow serve a purpose, have a point, a meaning that I can not yet see, but will eventually reveal itself in ten times the beauty as there was ugliness.

My life is profound and I am grateful for the complexity of me.
