Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change — and we all instinctively avoid it.
— E. B. White
The mysteries of life unravel like threads, moment by moment, every day of our life. Each thread offers us knowledge and opportunity that our Higher Power knows we’re ready to handle. During our life we’ll experience at least a few dramatic changes at specific and meaningful junctures. These changes can deepen our understanding of our purpose.
It’s pretty difficult to continue clinging to old ideas in the face of contrary new information. We may fight a change, even a small one, because our ego is invested in how it was. But within our Twelve Step fellowship, we’re surrounded by people who exemplify the rewards of change. These men and women are grabbing the threads of new knowledge and special opportunities and weaving coats of many colors that will comfort them in the days ahead.
I will seize the threads of life today and trust in my Higher Power.
Hazelden Foundation
