If you keep bringing your body, your mind will follow.

Image
God can't hand you anything new until you let go of what you're holding. ***** If you keep bringing your body, your mind will follow. ***** My problems are self-made. ***** Yesterday is so far in the past I can't see it; tomorrow is too distant in the future to be seen. So I'll take a good look at what I can see - today.   You are reading from the book: My Mind Is Out to Get Me by Dr. Ron B.

I must let go of my own will.

Being willing People often ask, "How does this Spirital Program work?" The  how  of this program is Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness. Often we must pray for willingness; sometimes we even have to pray to be willing to be willing! We have very stubborn wills. If surrendered daily, however, they can accomplish much good for others and ourselves. Surely those who say, "I will, I will" and don't are not as close to the heart of God as those who say "I will not," but do! Am I really willing? God, help me realize that to do your will for me today, in however small a way, I must let go of my own will. You are reading from the book: Day by Day - Second Edition by Anonymous

Today help me be in control of my own destiny.

If someone is going to control me, it might as well be me!!! -- Sarah B. Ours is, and must be, a selfish Spiritual Program. Our Spiritual Recovery must be the most important thing in the world to us. Sometimes friends and loved ones are confused and hurt because we spend so much time and energy working at our Spiritual Journey . It's hard to explain why, yes, we must work it daily. But however difficult, however hurtful or confusing to others our behavior might seem, we must take care of our own needs first. We're no use to our friends and family if we've relapsed to the way we were in the past.  and are no use to ourselves, either. Our choices must seem like selfish ones. Our Spiritual Journey must come first, before the demands of others or even our own comfort. We need to keep our new determination, and work toward a new way of life. Before, we told ourselves we'd quit tomorrow, that something would happen to make us change. Now, at last, we have the...

We have probably manipulated and been manipulated.

Image
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate. -- William Arthur Ward Manipulation is not foreign to most of us. We have probably manipulated and been manipulated. Manipulators may or may not be aware of what they're doing. There may be no malice involved. Often, the only intention is to find the means to continue an addictive behavior. Manipulation, however, can be terrifying if we're the end-receiver. We may also deny that it's happening, usually because we're so confused by it all. But when we realize the truth, we're frightened not only by what's happened, but also by what could happen. We've fallen for this before, what's to prevent us from falling for it again? We do our best to detach from the manipulator. This may mean letting go physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. The more distance we have, the easier it is to see the truth, to recognize...

Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.

Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear. --Lao-tzu A group of friends went swimming one day and one of them lost a ring in the bottom of the lake. Everyone started diving from different directions to find it until there was so much mud and sand stirred up that no one could see anything. Finally, they decided to clear the water. They waited silently on the edge of the shore for the mud from all their activity to settle. When it finally cleared, one person dove in slowly and picked up the ring. When we are confused about something in our lives, we will often hear answers and advice from all directions. Our friends will tell us one thing and our families another, until we feel pretty well mixed up. If we look away from our problem and let patience and time do their work, the mud inside us will settle and clear. Our answer will become visible, like the glimmer of silver in the water. Am I overlooking the simple solution? You are reading from the book: Today's Gift by Anonymous
