And we become grateful. --- BEYOND CODEPENDENCY There is a new energy, a new feeling coming from our life. We cannot base our expectations about how we will find tomorrow, or even a few hours from now, on how we feel at this moment. No two moments in time are alike. We are recovering. Our life is changing. The truly difficult times are about to pass. Do not limit the future by the past! Reflect on the beginning of your recovery. Haven't there been many changes that have brought you to where you are now? Reflect on one year ago. Haven't you and your circumstances changed since then? Sometimes, problems and feelings linger for a while. These times are temporary. Times of confusion, of uncertainty, of living with an unsolved problem do not last forever. We make these times doubly hard by comparing them to our past. Each situation and circumstance has shaped who we are. We do not have to scare ourselves by comparing our present and future to a painful past, before we began recovering or before we learned through a particular experience. Know that the discomfort will not be permanent. Do not try to figure our how you shall feel or when you shall feel differently. Instead, trust. Accept today, but do not be limited by it. A new energy is coming. A new feeling is on the way. We have not worked and struggled in vain. It has been for and toward something. --- Today, God, help me not judge or limit my future by my past. Help me be open to all the exciting possibilities for change, both within and around me. --- |
