Bipolar: Personal Development Series

Taking a deep and intense interest in understanding why I was as I was, is what ultimately saved my life!

Some people go through life relatively comfortable and cared for.

No serious issues. No shaky future. Prepared for most anything.
They’re happy where they are.

Others blame everything negative in their life on everything and everyone other than themselves.

They’re unhappy but righteously secure in their “knowledge” that none of this is their fault.
A guilt-free, by default, unhappy happiness.

Others try for all they’re worth, in every conceivable realm, to make their life more, better, improved, healthier, etc.

But they never quite reach these shiny goals that drive them so.
A tempered happiness/unhappiness, with an underlying hope.

I’ve been all these things.

Number three dogs me still but I know I’m closer than further from achieving my goals.

Which leads into a discussion on acceptance and letting go, if one wants to attain any true peace in this life.

I work on it.

Anyhoo!

I had to begin digging into my soul to find out why life on Earth was frequently so hard for me.

What I learned has helped me beat addictions, beat bipolar disorder, save my family, save the lives of others, and brought types of joy into my life I never knew possible, had I not embarked on the journey of self improvement, self-understanding, self evolvement.

Then I flip it all back out at you.

Personal development is an odd duck at times. 😉

So, have I got it all figured out?

Have I wonderful pearls of enlightenment to bestow upon you, the seekers of truth?

Well, some. I know some things. I’ll lay ’em out below.
