Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Reflection for the Day
How many of us would presume to announce, “Well, I’m sober and I’m happy. What more can I want or do? I’m fine just the way I am.” Experience has taught us that the price of such smug complacency—or, more politely, self-satisfaction—is an inevitable backslide, punctuated sooner or later by a very rude awakening. We have to grow or else we deteriorate. For us, the status quo can only be for today, never for tomorrow. Change we must; we can’t stand still.
Am I sometimes tempted to rest on my laurels?
Today I Pray
May I look around me and see that all living things are either growing or deteriorating. Nothing that is alive is static; life flows on. May I be carried along on that life-flow, unafraid of change, disengaging myself from the snags along the way that hold me back and interrupt my progress.
Today I Will Remember
Living is changing.
Hazelden Foundation
