Today's Gift
We must let go of people, places, memories, and move on to new experiences. The doors of the past must be closed before we can enter those that are opening to us today. However, no experience is gone forever. All of our experiences are threaded together, each one contributing to the events that claim our attention now.
Recovery has offered us a chance to be aware of our process of becoming. With each day, each experience, each new understanding, we are advancing along the path of personal growth. Let us remember that each of us has a particular path, like no other. Thus, our experiences are ours alone. We need not envy what comes to someone else.
Life is unfolding for us. The pain of the present may be necessary for the pleasure of tomorrow. We can accept the unfolding. Our inner selves have a goal; experiences of the past must be left in the past; experiences at hand will lead us to our destination today.
Action for the Day: I am moving and changing and growing, at the right pace. The process can be trusted. What is right for me will come to me. I will let the joy of becoming warm me.

Reborn
More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.
As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind,
as we became conscious of a Higher Power's presence, we began to lose our fear of today,
tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p 63

Going your way
I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life. —Anonymous
We each have a life to live, one that has purpose and meaning. We can help our Higher Power give direction and purpose to our life by setting goals.
We can set goals annually, monthly, or daily in times of crisis. Goals create direction and pace; goals help us achieve a manageable life that is directed in the course we choose for ourselves.
We can help give our lives direction by setting goals.
Today, I will pay attention to setting a course of action for my life, rather than letting others control my life and affairs.

Excerpt of The Daily Motivator
Going your way
by Ralph Marston
Today you are able to reason, to act, to make a difference. Today, life is going your way.
Take stock of your situation, and decide on your best choice in this moment. Act on that choice, and move quickly ahead.
Your life matters much more than the excuses, more than the frustrations, pain and inconvenience. With your ability to contribute to all of life, you can rise above each challenge and move the world forward.
Whatever else is happening, life is going your way. Because you can do something about it, do something with it, do something for it.
When the temptations arise to be resentful, judgmental or discouraged, remind yourself that life is going your way. Fill your awareness with enthusiasm for all the good you can do.
You are here on this unique day, able to chart a positive course, and life is going your way. Give your very best to make the most of your opportunity.
