Today's Gift
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. --Eleanor Roosevelt
Let fears slip away. Release any negative, limiting, or self-defeating beliefs buried in your subconscious too. These beliefs may be about life, love, or yourself. Beliefs create reality.
Let go. From as deep within as your fears, resentments, and negative beliefs are stored, let them all go. Let the belief or feeling surface.
Accept it; surrender to it. Feel the discomfort or unrest. Then let it go. Let new beliefs replace the old. Let peace and joy and love replace fear.
Give yourself and your body permission to let go of fears, resentments, and negative beliefs. Release that which is no longer useful. Trust that you are being healed and prepared for receiving what is good.
Today, Higher Power, help me become willing to let go of old beliefs and feelings that may be hurting me. Gently take them from me and replace them with new beliefs and feelings. I do deserve the best life and love has to offer. Help me believe that.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Keep It Simple
Courage is what makes us do the right thing even when nobody else is doing it. We can find happiness while surrounded by darkness; we can be loving in the middle of hate and envy, and serene when surrounded by chaos, fear, and anger.
The principles of our program help us face impossible odds. We learn that any act of courage may produce future victory for ourselves and others. The courage that we want takes its strength from faith, not from bravery or physical strength.
Foolish, unthinking courage, though, can be destructive to us or to others. Sensible courage never fails because it is made up of truth and faith.
Action for the Day: Today, I will let truth and faith give me courage, so that when fear knocks, no one is there.

One Day At A Time
Most of us sense that real tolerance of other people’s shortcomings and
viewpoints and a respect for their opinions are attitudes which make us
more useful to others. Our very lives, as ex-problem drinkers, depend upon
our constant thought of others and how we may help meet their needs.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (There Is A Solution) pp. 19 - 20
Thought to Ponder
Love and tolerance of others is our code.

Daily Motivation
Excerpt of The Daily Motivator
by Ralph Marston
Today, discover how strong you can be. Decide to act with strength, to respond with strength, to envision yourself in every situation as strong.
You are as strong as you choose to be. Choose to become stronger than you’ve ever been before.
Live in strength, for the sake of your family, your community, your world, yourself. Give the strength you have to give, and you will have more.
Let go of any thought or inclination that could sap your strength. Feel the power of your purpose and let it raise your thoughts, your actions, your perspective to new levels of strength.
Make your strength sustainable by making it authentic. Dedicate that strength to advance goodness, truth, and love.
All of life can benefit from your strength today, every day. Call that strength to the surface and inject its energy into all you do.
