Give to Every Day

Tuesday, February 5, 2008

Give to every day

There will always be a reason to give up, and there will always be a reason to keep going. The question is, which reason will you choose to focus upon?

Your troubles will get the best of you if you give all your time and attention to them. But you always have another choice.

You can give your attention to the positive possibilities. You can choose to focus upon what's right with life.

There is something you can do in this very moment to create a little bit of positive value in your world. Though it may not seem like much, just one small positive action can have an enormous impact.

Even the smallest step has a clear and unmistakable direction. When you choose to take action, you choose to take control.

Don't allow your life to be defined by the difficulties that come your way. For beyond them all, you have something unique and beautiful to give to every day.

Positive is an energy force that drives me forward on a good path, and it helps me to remain positive when I see problems and obstacles on my path as "messages" from my Higher Power to perhaps pause and think, and maybe take a better path.

Hindsight has taught me that most "disturbing" events in my life were all lessons, or detours or oddly wrapped "gifts". Recovery has taught me to trust that if I am willing to be led, I will find a good path.

Hugs
