Many of us have moments when we feel crowded and overwhelmed. We have times when we feel like we cannot possibly accomplish all that needs to be done. We may be facing a task at work, an improvement in ourselves or, change in our family life.For a moment, it is-helpful to look forward and envision the project. It is normal, when we look ahead at what needs to be done, to have moments of panic. Feel the fear, then let it go. Take our eyes off the future and the enormity of the task. If we have envisioned the goal, it will be ours. We do not have to do everything today, or at once.Focus on today. Focus on the belief that all is well. All we need to do to reach our goal is to focus on what presents itself naturally, and in orderly way, to us today. We shall be empowered to accomplish peacefully, what we need to get where we want to be tomorrow.Breath deeply. Get peaceful. Trust. Act as guided, today.Today, I will believe that all is well. I am being led, one day at time. I will focus my energy on living this day to the best of my ability.Melody Beattie ©

We have come into the world to bear witness to the glory of God that indwells us. Should we not, then, make decisions that fulfill our destiny, rather than those that diminish it? Every decision for good, every decision that withholds judgment and rises above difficulty celebrates God within. What will you decide today to honor your owndivinity?Mary Manin Morrissey

AA Thought of the Day / Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. / AA, p. 84

It's easy to become an automaton who gets up, works hard, even does spiritual practices, but all merely as a mechanical habit. You can easily get the idea that your spiritual work, or whatever you are doing, is all-important and that you must give your life to it, while at the same time you forget what "giving your life to it" actually means. Then you can become even more mechanical than you already are (if such a thing is conceivable), but in a different form.Lee Lozowick

Our minds are always wandering, reacting to other people's behaviors and words, and taken over by the thoughts and memories streaming through our awareness. So it is also fruitless to seek lasting happiness through thought, or even through sensual pleasures. What attracts us today fails to satisfy tomorrow. Yet we continue to think that serenity comes from something we do or have, rather than the way we are.

I am responsible for my own well-being, my own happiness. The choices and decisions I make regarding my life directly influences the quality of my days.Kathleen Andrus

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you
