Looking at Wisdoms of GROW

Wisdoms for growth

I must say at this point although I found some things within this movement not in keeping with the current understanding of Mental Health, I did find some very valuable things from my attendance at meetings.

One of the most important things that happened was finding a friend who does accept me just as I am and in spite of my shortcomings will continue to be my friend. To my friend I say a big thank YOU.

I did also meet some interesting people with many thoughts to exchange.

I believe in self supporting groups and feel there is much merit in this type of group. I found some very well meaning people although at times my opinions may differ from their opinions.

I think we all have a time to grow.....

one wisdom which will always be of value to my life is:

"That our feelings can be good servants, and even better friends, but quite terrible masters. For no matter how elevated or attractive in them self, they can unhinge our minds and disorganized our lives."

Our feelings are neither right nor wrong but it is what we do with our feelings which becomes right or wrong.

Another wisdom which makes much sense to me is:

"To have Confidence is not a feeling but it is an attitude of mind".

"Being sorry for those who don't understand you, instead of resenting them".

If we are able to take these positive wisdoms and make them part of our life our life will become happier and we may even make positive change all around.

For change can come when one person with one idea dares to stand up and say what they mean.

I welcome any comments any one may like to give for I know that I have still much to learn. If what I say offends in anyway please talk to me about what you feel.

My personal Mental Health issues are that all of my life way before it was recognized that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder was a real state of mind, together with learning difficulties I had them and had to find a way to be Normal..

Now I have come to terms with it all and accept that what ever normal is it is what it is for us all...
