Always Moving Forward - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Give to yourself the highest of expectations. And all the while, be patient with yourself as well.

Know for certain that you are surely born to do great things. And know also that real value takes time and patience to fully develop.

You are always a work in progress. On some days you will make a little more progress than usual, and on other days a little less.

Yet every day has its purpose and its own special value. Even when, by all outward appearances, you are falling behind, on a deeper level you are always moving forward.

For every experience, whatever it may be, brings its own richness to your life. Learn to see that richness, to accept it, to make use of it, and you will find your most treasured dreams coming to life.

Be eager to make the effort, and patient about seeing the results. Something in each and every day will move you forward.

Just knowing my life has a purpose was an empowering revelation. Living it with purpose is the challenge.

Love this post. Don't know if anybody caught Oprah yesterday. They were discussing a book/dvd called "The Secret"...one I've been looking for awhile. I truly believe we put our orders out to the universe whether they be negative or positive...it will be reflected back upon you.
