MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR LIFE

MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR LIFE

You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way.
You'll always be secure to the degree that you accept change.
True security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.

Recognize and accept that change will inevitably take place.
You'll become secure, not by standing still, but by growing,
moving, and staying energized.
Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with anything
that happens to you.

Have the courage to bet on your ideas.
Take some calculated risks and act on your dreams.
There is no permanent security on this earth, there is only opportunity.  
___ The Daily Guru

From the Big Book:

"We had to ask ourselves why we shouldn't apply to our human problems this same readiness to change our point of view.  We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people--was not a basic solution of these bedevilments more important than whether we should see newsreels of lunar flight?  Of course it was. 

When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. 
Our ideas did not work.  But the God idea did." 

c. 1939, AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, We Agnostics, p. 52.

Prayer for the day:

"I pray that I may claim God's supply of strength by my faith in Him.  
I pray that it shall be given to me according to my faith."

c. 1975, Hazelden Foundation, Twenty-Four Hours A Day, July 6.  

Quote for the day:

"My favoured temple is a humble heart."  __Philip James Bailey

My share:

"Without humility, submission to a Higher Power is only a half-measure."   "Only you can know if your faith is true."   "To serve God is to be of service to mankind."   "Find the place in your heart where God can take up permanent residence.  Then will you  know the next right thing."  These words of wisdom came from the mouths of others in meetings I've attended.  If I had been not listening, I would have missed them.   Be Good To You, Dave
