Jan. 9, 2014 - Today's Gift from Hazelden

Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014
Today's thought from Hazelden is:

The man who treasures his friends is usually solid gold himself.
 -- Marjorie Holmes

We are the masters of our own fate! We carry all of the equipment necessary to meet each new challenge but there is also a long rope trailing behind us.

We are the masters of our fate, but we aren't on a solitary journey. The only way we can climb our own mountains is by doing it with others. We learn to be alone by learning to love and trust others. We carry our own lifeline connected to the love and caring of our friends.

Today let me be grateful for my individuality and also for the ties that link me to others.

Our Best Days by Nancy Hull-Mast. © 1990 by Hazelden Foundation
