Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Seeking growth
We are where we are for a reason. As long as that reason remains, we remain where we are. If we aren't where we think we should be, working the program will help us get to where our deepest self longs to be. This is growth.
And growth is work. We must be willing to do the simple things that our new understanding asks of us. We are never given more than we can handle, and the loving help we need along the way is always available. But we never get this help in advance, only as we need it.
Am I seeking growth?
Higher Power, help me want to grow and be willing to do the simple things, day by day, that add up to big changes.
