The Dilemma
Now, I’ll outline my dilemma. I now have a check for $4,000 in my hands. The check is not mine, but it has been a long time since anything like this has happened. My dilemma is whether or not I should cash it. There will certainly be questions about my sudden wealth, and I don’t know how I will be able to recover from my addiction if I cash the check. Sleeping soundly on this is out of the question for now. It seems like every time I start exploring positive aspects and trying to do the right thing, something happens to make me doubt myself. I will most likely destroy the check, although it would certainly ease my way in this world if I didn’t destroy it. Who could I trust to guide me? Definitely not me!
What a big deal I’ve been making over nothing. Making small things into overwhelming things is one of my skills, however. I’m hoping it will pass, like everything else I’ve been through.
As it turns out, the check had already been cashed long ago.
