Sharing (For Friends and Family)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trying to solve a problem alone, without the benefit of wisdom of other people, often leaves us stuck with an even worse problem. On the other hand, sharing any problem with interested, compassionate people, such a those we meet in the program, guarantees that many responses will surface. Each person will offer a unique & genuine perspective from which the best solution can be gleaned.
It?s not unusual that we kept our problems to ourselves for years. Most of us were ashamed that we didn't have perfect lives; we thought most of the people we knew did. We didn't know that our secrets kept us very stuck. Now we are learning that sharing secrets with trusted others frees us from the burden of our secrets. We can make progress toward those perfect lives only if we tell who we really are & what is really going on. What surprises have been in store for us since we joined the program!

Telling a trusted friend about a problem will make this day more productive. And the problem may get solved too!
We need to share our problem to find our solutions.
