Make The Attempt - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**Ann** · 06-20-2006, 10:01 AM

Everything you accomplish, you must first attempt. So get busy making those attempts.

Procrastination and excuses do not lead to achievement. The way to make it happen is to make the attempt.

You may very well fall short on the first few attempts. There may very well be plenty of good reasons to give up.

Even so, keep making the attempt. Action and persistence will get you everywhere.

How do you get yourself to make the attempt? By connecting that attempt, and the achievement it will ultimately bring, with a real and meaningful purpose deep within you.

When you are clear about why you must do what you must do, you'll have no trouble finding the will and the commitment to step boldly forward. Make the attempt, as often as necessary, and you will surely make it happen.

I'm a big fan too, CW, and can't wait to read him every day. He recharges my recovery batteries and gets my brain heading in a good direction every day.

I'm glad you enjoy him too.

Hugs,
