What does it mean to have opportunities?

            Good Afternoon Everyone!! I would like to inform everyone that I have both opportunities and potential this New Year.  What is the definition of an opportunity?  An opportunity means a chance for advancement or improvement.  I feel at this time that I have a lot of opportunities this year.  I would like to go back to work in the year 2018.  I would like to work inside of a Public Library or a Hospital.  I know that I have worked sparingly within the past 8 years. 

            Next, I would like to express an interest in working with the general public again.  First, I have to get healthy and exercise throughout this year.  I want to inform everyone that we all have opportunities to do anything in our personal lives.  I just have to eat the right foods and avoid trouble.  I have to stay clean and sober this year and make sure that I am attending all of my AA Meetings.  I have to make sure that I take all of my medications as prescribed by each doctor.  I have to make sure that I continue to listen to music from the past because the voices that I have been hearing in the past do not like music from the 1970s.

            Further, I have to continue to educate myself and take it easy each day of my life.  I have to resolve all of my active issues with my family members.  I have to stop arguing with people.  I have to change my behavior for the better.  I have to change everything that I used to do that was negative into a positive.  I have to change my entire focus on life, so that opportunities can open up for me.  For instance, I have not been involved in a relationship in almost 10 years.  I know that it is my fault that I have been making foolish mistakes during my relationships with women.  I used to look at porn very frequently.  I used to look at porn at work and at home.  I rarely look at porn.  I want to inform all of you that I have eliminated a lot of my personal habits. 

            Moreover, I want to inform everyone that in order for me to gain opportunities to work and be successful again, I have to break myself of my terrible habits.  I have to change my overall behavior.  I have to want to look for a job again.  I know that it has been 6 months since I have worked for money.  I realize that I have potential to do anything that I want out of my life.  I have to eliminate everything that I do not need.  I will admit that I am a hoarder.  I have collected things that I do not need.  When it comes to opportunities in my life, I have to write everything down with my AA Sponsor all over again.  I will have to do an inventory all over again.  I will have to write down all of my likes and dislikes. 

            In Addition, I will have to ask God to help me with all of my personal issues.  I want to learn how to communicate with God all over again. I do have one problem in my life and that is to find out who is my father.  I thought I had that issue resolved, but my relatives are saying that my father did not live on Barnett Street in Dayton, Ohio.  I remember visiting someone on Barnett Street when I was young.  My opportunities and potential has to be determined by God Himself.  I cannot plan or tell God what to do in my personal life.  I have to be patient and ask God in a humbling and gentle way for the things that I literally need. 

            Also, I have to learn how to be very patient.  I will admit that I have a tendency to get very upset whenever I do not get the things that I need.  When it comes to opportunities in my life currently, I have to surrender to God.  I have to learn how to write professionally instead of writing out my feelings each day of the week.  I will admit that I do get easily irritated and cranky with people.  It is all of my fault.  It is the medications that I am taking each day that is causing me to change my behavior.  I have to submit to God and mean it.  I need to attend church on a regular basis. 

            Finally, I need to get up in the morning and start completing my daily tasks; such as cleaning up my apartment and washing my clothes each week.  I have to admit that I have been complaisant.  I will admit that I do things at the last minute.  I am a very guilty person.  I am a sinner.  I am a person who needs motivation in order to do things period.  I am guilty of hearing voices in the past.  Right now, my problem with the voices and auditory hallucinations have diminished.  I really need some motivation and opportunities to change my behavior.  I need to make myself available for job opportunities and anything in my personal life.  I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.  This is my motivating Bible verse.  Lord, I submit myself to you.  I give you all power over my life right now.  Please take care of me just like a shepherd tending to his flock of sheep.  Please help me, care for me, and protect me from all dangers and alleviate all of my current sicknesses.  In Jesus name I pray Amen.
