Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Making Progress
Bring the body, the mind will follow. — Anonymous
Progress is a word of action, but for us it must never be hurried. We are told, “the idea is to make improvement, not finish first at a destination.” There’s no need to rush. We can take time to think about the direction we’re going. Sometimes spiritual progress may seem slow to us, but if we honestly work the program, that progress is sure.
We can also take the time to examine the progress we have made. When we realize how far we have come, it makes it possible for us to continue. Practicing the Eleventh Step will help us slow down and calm our urgent need to always be rushing around.
I must never stand still. Even when I stop and look at my progress, that is an action that gives me the courage to continue.
