Multiply
I multiply my blessings or disharmony in my life by my attitude.
I am a self-seeking individual because I seek to find love, harmony and peace in my life. I feel hopeless because it appears to me that life is passing me by, when the truth is otherwise. Much of my pain originates because of the nature, elements, factors or circumstances constituting my life, whether it or they are true or illusionary.
At times, malaise, or a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being, seems to permeate my life.
Lately I have sometimes wished for death. When I start listing my abundance and blessings, my depression lessens. I tend to see disharmony in my life when there isn’t any. I am sometimes in emotional pain much of my life because I am letting negative influences control me.
Much of my life is far-reaching in its effect on my own life and that of others. I am learning that there is no word such as impossible. I have all the abundance I need to lead a comfortable life and to assist others with their needs.
As a youth I was forever enthralled with the wonder of God displayed through
the universe. Upon analysis of the circumstances surrounding my life, I am
happy to report that I have many, many more positive influences affecting me
than negative. I have again found the peace of God which I had in my
youth. I am hopeful that I will continue to find my childhood peace of God
in my life, despite the trials I seem to constantly endure.
