Words of Wisdom
Since starting this group, I have done a lot of research into other sites, and come up with different things that I find very informative and interesting. I created this page so that I could share my discoveries with you. I came upon this page that deals with the philosophical aspects of Kung Fu, and I feel that they pertain directly to us in Recovery.
"HONESTY"
In accepting our weaknesses and strengths in practice we must confront honesty. Through our constant battle with discipline and personal capability we become intimate with our strengths and weaknesses and we are forced to face our self honestly in order to make inroads in our practice. Honesty sometimes requires courage and self-compassion. We must learn to accept who and what we are so that we can change and improve. Honesty is a path that can eventually lead to satisfaction, contentment, and serenity , if one is steadfast in its application.
"OPENMlNDEDNESS"
In order to understand the multitudes of techniques and approaches we must be open minded. In order to see the techniques objectively, and that it just might be founded on something beyond our own personal skill level we must be open minded. Open mindedness keeps the learning process vital and alive. Open mindedness helps keep us from becoming stagnant and dogmatically stuck in one place. Through open mindedness we can learn more and because of its openness we can enjoy more.
