“Self-Will Run Riot”: ‘Demanding Others to Live as We want Them to Live’ – Step 3
From Adam — “Self-love for me is when I’m doing something that I know is healthy for me, spiritually, mentally, or physically. Sometimes my self-will has taken control and I’m doing something to satisfy my ego, such as buying a $100 shirt, trying to manipulate, or otherwise, acquire something to satisfy my immediate wants. This is sometimes at the sacrifice of my own long term health and happiness. I guess I end up often having to ask myself what is my motivation when a situation doesn’t feel 100% like the right thing to do. I still don’t always make the best decisions, but I do more often as time goes on.” (on self-will run riot)

Why “Turning Our Will Over” is Not as Tricky as it may Seem – Step 3
From Brandon De Santiago --- To live how we want, And to do what we please. Can sometimes be tough, And not done with great ease. Life works in many ways, Some good and some bad. Which stops us in our tracks, And makes us real mad. We can’t all get, What we want right away. And waiting is needed, To show us the way. So learn the lesson now, That some never learn. Waiting patiently, Will allow you your turn. QUESTION ::: What does "Turning your Will Over" to your HP mean to you? HAVE PATIENCE CUZ 100%…
