My journey has been of a spiritual nature.
I have learned over the years just how much I am loved by God, whom I thought was only interested in punishing me when I was bad. I got this from my very legalistic upbringing.
I know now that I am an imperfect human being, and He does not expect perfection from me. When I tried to be perfect I only failed. So I have learned to accept myself as I am with all my flaws.
I have also learned to embrace my talents, not minimize my contribution to society. I am not a burden, but a blessing to others. This all comes from an inner peace deep within.
I write prose/poetry which has enabled me to see things more clearly. I love to compare nature to things in life.
Anyway, this is how I deal with life most of the time. I say most of the time because I am not perfect and I do freak out from time to time. But even that is ok.
