Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Right now is the time to wake up from your sleepwalking through this life.
— Mel Ash
Some of us go through each day passively, as if we had no control over the direction of our experiences. We may think that luck or the actions of others are responsible for all that occurs. In fact, we have many choices. Awareness of our opportunities to choose and our use of that freedom are significant factors in shaping each day.
We can look searchingly at where we are and what we’ve contributed to our present situation. We can acknowledge and accept with compassion whoever we have been and whatever we have done in the past. We can empower ourselves to decide which attitudes and behaviors we would like to embrace and continue and which we’d like to change. We need not be stuck in passivity. We can choose new directions that foster healing and growth.
Today, I take actions that invite healing and positive change into my life.
