I will not compare my insides with everybody else’s outsides and use that to make myself wrong, today. Comparing and despairing is just another form of self sabotage, it’s another way of keeping myself from advancing confidently in a positive direction. Wherever I am I will take as where I am meant to be. What every is happening I will accept as my path. If I don’t like it, it’s up to me to change it. I have what I have, I am what I am and it’s enough. I can’t build myself on someone else, I have to build on who I am. When I undermine who I am at this moment I use my discouragement as a reason not to try, not to put one foot in front of the other and take the next right action. Today I will appreciate the gift of recovery in my life and I will be grateful for God at work in all my affairs.

Take the result as the path
