How do you find value in your life? Values are priorities that tell you how to spend your time, right here, right now. What creates the greatest value for your life isn't always obvious. I had to think on how I would answer that question...
"I would like to ask...Has your OCPDer experience brought any new value to your life, increased your faith, strengthened your character or resolve, given an opportunity for personal development, increased your compassion, helped others, had some spiritual significance, that you would not have gotten without an OCPDer in your life? We hear about the negatives. Any positives?
- Detachment. A lovely out of body experience. I'm the Watcher.
- Long suffering. No, not suffering long, but the patient endurance of wrong or provocation, combined with a refusal to give up hope for improvement in a disturbed relationship.
- Deep abiding patience. Breathe, just breathe.
- Laughter. One of my very favorite forms of humor is black/dark/gallows humor. It makes light of solemn subject matters. When he is ranting, I am amused amidst the tragedy. I make plans . . . and God laughs.
- Self mastery.
- Becoming kind.
- Joy. Knowing now—It's not me. lol
