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.
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 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.
Panic will stop this process. Trust and guided action will further it. Breath deeply. Get peaceful. Trust. Act as guided, today.
Today, I 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.

You were created as a magnificent being with a special purpose on this earth. There is a spot in the heart of God that only you can fill. You matter, because you make a difference to God.

AA Thought of the Day / We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that God may be found... / AA, p. 55

You have the power to set yourself free of negative thought patterns and behaviors. You have the power to rise above the meaningless, petty distractions that can waste so much time and steal so much energy. You have the power to fill your moments, your life and your awareness with the things that have real and lasting meaning. You have the power to move forward no matter what setbacks or obstacles may block your path. You have the power to live true to your highest vision of how life can be. You have all this power because you have the choice. In each moment, you can choose, independent of all other factors, what to think, what to say, what to do and who to be. You have the choice, and the power, to truly and to fully live.
Ralph Marston

The simple fact of the matter is that everything in our lives - including all the crappy things - is a choice that we have made for ourselves. That is a difficult fact to face for most of us, since it's much easier to blame random circumstances in our lives than to accept responsibility for our own actions. The first step toward inner and outer peace is accepting responsibility for our lives.
Jason Augustus Newcomb

Fear and Love, guilt and Love, cannot co-exist. Only if I keep reliving the past in the future am I a slave to time. By forgiving and letting go of the past, I free myself of the painful burdens I have carried into the present. Now I can claim the opportunities for freedom in the present without my past distortions.
Gerald Jampolsky

We have reached a point in human history that demands more from each of us. It is not just leaders who make history. It is all of us. By our decisions each day we help shape the world, for better or for worse. On the path to building a better world, a first step is to choose hope.
David Krieger

“We accept many notions because they seem to be the logical answers to our questions. But have we asked the right questions?”
Harold L. Klawans

Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere.
