Second Life

 Many of us get a “second life.”  Divorced, addicted, job-change, a residence move are examples.  The over and done relationship is a first life.  You have a chance for another relationship.  Will you live it the same you as the first one?  If so, it will be a rerun, not a second life.  If you enter into recovery from addiction, will you live it the same as before you tried recovery, dropping only the addictive substance and all else staying the same? It will be a rerun.  You lost your first job but now have a chance for another opportunity for employment or career.  Will your deportment, manner, habits be the same as the lost job time? A rerun.  You do a geographic to a new residence or city. If only the geography and address changes, it will be a rerun.  A “Second Life” can be wonderful, surprising, and most profound if you are the one who changes for the better.  This is a spiritual recovery or discovery.
