Today's Gift
When we don't ask for what we want and need, we discount ourselves. Melody Beattie
Wants and Needs
So many of us have been brainwashed to think that we can't have what we want in life. That is the belief of the martyr. It is born of deprivation and fear.
Identifying what we want and need, then writing it down, sets in motion a powerful chain of events. It indicates that we are taking responsibility for ourselves, giving our Higher Power and the Universe permission to supply our wants and needs.
The belief that we deserve to have a change in character, a relationship, a new dimension to an existing relationship, a possession, a certain level of health, living, loving, or success, is a powerful force in bringing that desire to pass.
Often, when we realize that we want something, that feeling is the Universe preparing us to receive it!
Listen. Trust. Empower the good in your life by paying attention to what you want and need. Write it down. Affirm it mentally. Mediate about it. Then, let it go. Send it out to the Universe, and see what happens.
The results may be better than you think.
Today, I will pay attention to what I want and need. I will take time to write it down, and then I will let it go. I will begin to believe I deserve the best.

********************************Twenty-Four Hours a DayKeep It Simple
Perseverance may well be our greatest asset. As we forge ahead on a project, it loses its power over us. Our confidence and abilities grow in concert with our progress on the project, preparing us to tackle the next one too.
We have something special, uniquely our own to offer in this life. And we also have the potential to offer it successfully. However, we don't always realize our potential. Many of us stifled our development with fears of failure, low self-worth, assumed inadequacies. The past need plague us no longer.
Help is readily available for us to discover our capacities for success. Abilities stand ready to be tapped, goals and projects await our recognition. Any commitment we make to a task that draws our interest will be reinforced by our Higher Power's commitment to our efforts. We have a partner. Our efforts are always doubled when we make them--truly make them.
Action for the Day: I will not back away from a project today. I will persevere and find completion. I'll feel completed.

One Day At A Time
Practicing Step Three is like the opening of a door which to all
appearances is still closed and locked. All we need is a key, and
the decision to swing the door open. There is only one key, and
it is called willingness. Once unlocked by willingness, the door
opens almost of itself, and looking through it, we shall see a
pathway beside which is an inscription. It reads:
"This is the way to a faith that works."
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Three) p. 34
Thought to Ponder
Faith dares the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see.

It will come***************************Daily MotivationExcerpt of The Daily Motivator
by Ralph Marston
Work patiently toward the goal you’ve set, and it will come. The setbacks are no reason to quit, but are in fact confirmation of the necessity to push forward.
To create something of lasting value requires lasting effort and commitment. Act with diligence, with persistence, with patience, and it will come.
If you seek to get it now and then work for it later, you’ll end up cheated, disappointed or worse. Instead, make the effort now, work patiently toward it, and it will come.
Build the value that you desire to experience. Build it with each thought, each action, each moment and each day.
Build a bright future with integrity and persistence, with faith, patience and love. And it will come.
