Be mindful of the words that you use and the actions that you live and who you are and how it is you use your power. Keep clear at all times that you are what you say you are.

- Gary Zukav


Sometimes we identify ourselves with other people's words. People quote the Big Book and other literature, but that isn't who they are.

Sometimes we look at something and we all see a different picture. We are individuals, walking with God. I was told that we were Spiritual beings, trying to live an Earthly walk.

No other person has the ability to make us feel guilty.

Oscar Wilde, Author/Playwright put is so well:

"Guilt is a self-inflicted wound; and, the only cure is that realization."

Often self inflicted or projected onto us by people who have major control issues.

Live One Day at a Time: A to Zen of Life (Dalai Lama)

Avoid negative sources, people, places, and habits.

Believe in yourself.

Consider things from every angle.

Don't give up and don't give in.

Everything you're looking for lies behind the mask you wear.

Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches.

Give more that you planned to.

Hang on to your dreams.

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Keep trying no matter how hard it seems.

Love yourself.

Make it happen.

Never lie, steal, or cheat.

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

Practice makes perfect.

Quality not quantity in anything you do.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Stop procrastinating.

Take control of your own destiny.

Understand yourself in order to better understand others.

Visualize it.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Xcellence in all your efforts.

You are unique, nothing can replace you.

Zero in on your target and go for it.

Have done so many posts not sure what I have posted and what I have not. This just seemed to be a message that needed to be said.

When you can’t get your loved ones to support your sobriety:

1. I follow my sobriety no matter what.
2. I show compassion in helping my loved ones understand my sobriety.
3. I ask my loved ones to support my sobriety.
4. I answer questions about my sobriety without getting defensive.
5. I know that my loved ones love me without fully grappling with my sobriety.
6. I accept them as they are and continue on with pursuing my sobriety.

I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me,
And that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for his Blessings,
And the Mercies HE's bestowed..
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
And the sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe,
About the tough rows I have hoed
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already Blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
To help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

When I think of how many people in this world
have it worse than I do,
I realize just how blessed I really am.

Jeremiah 7:8
But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.

We have a disease of perception. How we hear something or say something, may not be understood by someone else. A good practice is to say, ``I heard you say, ...., I took it to mean, ...., is that what you meant to say or did I misunderstand you.``
