Leon Brown spent 13 years in professional baseball…a great contributor to the sport. But he is also known for some magnificent ‘success in life' quotes. And while I am challenged to pick a favorite, today’s quote is meaningful for this Saturday morning where the air is crisp and the promise of a beautiful Fall day is emerging. It is a perfect opportunity to sit with myself…to check-in…to notice what I am thinking and what feelings are rising from those thoughts. To spend a few moments as Mr. Brown suggested…to simply listen to my own voice…my own soul.

It’s challenging. Sometimes it is very challenging. Because everywhere I turn…or look…there is noise…clamoring for my attention…telling me what to think…..how to dress…what to do…where to live…who to like…who to despise. And if I listen, then I am acknowledging that they are the expert in my life…in my journey…in my story. Is that really what I want to do? To give my voice…my personal power…my independence…to another? I think not. I think that is, by far, the worst thing I could do for It is the epitome of mindlessly moving through my life in a boat without a rudder.

As a peer supporter, my lived experiences become my greatest assets. For it is those experiences that allow me to connect with others…to share my story of recovery. And this entire process is extraordinary. It empowers me to solve my problems and to share those experiences with others. It engages me and allows me to connect with others…to celebrate our successes as we remove barriers and overcome obstacles. When I am in this mindset, I can experience joy and gratitude. But this is not where I always reside...
