Today's thought is:

One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have wholehearted enthusiasm.
--Hannah Senesh

Life offers little if we sit passively in the midst of activity. Involvement is a prerequisite if we are to grow. For our lives' purposes we need enthusiasm; we need enthusiasm in order to greet the day expectantly. When we look toward the day with anticipation, we are open to all the possibilities for action.

We must respond to our possibilities if we are to mature emotionally and recover spiritually. Idly observing life from the sidelines guarantees no development beyond our present level. We begin to change once we start living up to our commitment to the program, its possibilities and our purpose, and it's that change, many days over, that moves us beyond the negative, passive outlook of days gone by.

The program has offered us something to believe in. We are no longer the people we were. So much more have we become! Each day's worth of recovery carries us closer to fulfilling our purpose in life.

I believe in recovery, my own; when I believe in success, I'll find it. There is magic in believing.

Very eloquent, Bubblze. Know you've helped someone today. I needed that.

there are some quotes and stuff that i like and would like to share them with you all
You are what your deep driving desire is
as your desire is, so is your will
as your will is, so is you deed
as your deed is, so is your destiny

i will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur, when i remain open to an infinity of choices. when i step into the field of all possibilities, i will experience all the fun, adventure magic and mystery of life.

You are not loved by God because you are valuable, you are valuable because you are loved by God.

Be kind to your friends, without them you'd be a stranger.

Crying only a little bit is no use, you must cry until your pillow is soaked, then you can get up and laugh.

Growing is like running a 26 mile marathon, if we give up on the 24th mile, we will never know what it's like to finish the race.

We must not leave goodness up to others. if each person waits for the next to take a step, the world may die while we stand in line.

It's easier to resist the first evil desire then all the ones that follow.

there are a few that i like, hope you all enjoy them as much as i do
