My Only Job
Plant
seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate
achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all
obstacles and weaknesses.-Norman Vincent Peale
Life is a gift and I will not devalue it with negativity
My
only job today is to have faith, to stay positive, and put one foot in
front of the other. When I slip into negativity, I head down a slippery
slope. I make things important that I could just as easily release and
allow to move past me. I obsess, argue with myself, and convince myself
that there is something wrong in my life that needs fixing, something
wrong with my relationships that makes me dissatisfied with them, or
something wrong with me that I need to hide or run from. Just for today I
am going to try to live the principles of the program in all of my
affairs, not just in some of them. I am going to live one day at a time
and surrender my resistance to change and my need to control to my
Higher Power. I am going to live a clean and wholesome life and I am
going to love the life I have. I am grateful for the gift of one more
day of recovery.
