Always good to look at again. They say stay in today and some would say this is an old post, but to my way of thinking, if it is brought to your attention in today, it is applicable and there is something there that you need to address. If you can't get a message from it, perhaps it is something you need to pass onto someone else.

Words like these never grow old. It is about me remembering them and applying them to my life to make for a better today.

If you want to be strong, be patient, thoughtful and understanding. Anyone can be rude, but it takes real strength to be kind and polite.
If you want to be strong, be persistent. Enduring strength does not come in an instant, but is steadily built over time.

If you want to be strong, get in the habit of taking action. The strongest people are those who act while others only talk or wish.

If you want to be strong, be humble. Put your focus on doing, rather than worrying about getting credit.

If you want to be strong, be joyful. When you enjoy what you're doing, you are far more effective.

If you want to be strong, be yourself. The real strength you have is in the authentic person you are.

-- Ralph Marston

Anyone can feel more at peace and more energized through the process of forgiveness. This process reminds me of throwing off weights when riding in a hot air balloon so you can go higher up. Old anger, fear, and resentment are dead weights that slow us and drain our vitality. When you forgive the world—including yourself—you become lighter and much less fearful.

To quote Zig Ziglar, "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

Love the quote. Remember after coming into recovery, regretting that it took me so long to get there. They say if you don't feel remorse the next morning, perhaps you are not an alcoholic.

“Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.” Katherine Mansfield

When I see a bunch of "I's" it is a good chance I am acting out in my Ego and leaving God out.
