Things was smooth going, stable and comfortable for 17 months, suddenly everything is not working over the last 4 weeks.
I choose to meditate and pray on the words that “everyone who believes in the Higher Power will not be shame.”
I discover new found strength and power not from within me to stay gamble free and trust the words all the way to the end.
I did something I never do before today:
I was passing by and saw a young plant about 4 metres tall bending 90 degrees to the side in the public,
it was supposed to be tied to a straight pole for support,
I felt something for the plant, it must be suffering and painful,
I decided to help the plant, I got some rope to tied it to the straight pole.
It was natural for me to be calculative, overthink and end up gambling during hard times.
Instead of fear and tightening my money during this uncertain and threatening times
I decided to spend 380 sgd on the following:
1. a wireless power drill, I always wanted to get it to do some minor repair work at home
2. nice food for the family
3. massage for myself to release the tension in my body
I spend the money on good cause;
I did not try to recover the money by gambling;
I did not gamble, I did not use alcohol.
