~ ANSWERS ~
There is no need to run outside
For better seeing,
Nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide
at the center of your being.
Lao Tzu
I always looked for answers outside of myself. I did not put the trust in my self and thought someone, anyone, always knew better than me. I believed the advertisements and compared myself to polished pictures of beautiful thin women.
As I recover from compulsive overeating, I am learning that all of the answers are inside of me. I need only to get quiet and listen to that still small voice. I pray that my Higher Power will give me the willingness to go inside where my truths lie.
One Day at a Time . . .
I look within and wait patiently ...
knowing the answers, however big or small,
are all within.
