Goals 11/22

[DolphinBlue]

All of the fantasies in your life will never match those I once tried to attain. Now older, it's more important reaching the more realistic goals, and having them come true.
-Deidra Sarault

Simply knowing that we are important creatures of the universe offers too little securty for most of us. We do have a role to play; our talents are special and unique to each of us. Using them in a well-planned manner will benefit us emotionally and spiritually. Others will profit from our talents as well.

Fantasies have their place in our lives, too. They often tempt us to even greater heights. We can't always collar our fantasies, but we can take the necessary steps to relize the goals that our fantasies have birthed.

Recovery is freeing us to achieve those goals we'd only dreamed of or perhaps feared tackling in the past. The defects that we hid behind before are, with patience, giving way to positive behavior. We can accomplish our heart's pure desires. We need not let the fear of failure trap us again as it did so many of us for so long.

I will set my sights high and trust the program to coach my progress. My goals are attainable. It only takes one small step at a time.

I have to tell myself this everyday, I have something to offer, my disease wants to tell me that is not true.

Me too Paulie. Even as I read it, my head is saying "that doesn't apply to you" but I tend to question that more these days.

The trick for me is awareness, I often take it for granted that my head is right, out of habit. If I can become aware that its happening, I will often give myself examples of proof that I have contributions to make and reassure myself that I have value.

Oh when I do that...I get in big trouble LOL! Habit yep, for me a bad habit, my head is NEVER right. My heart is right.
