"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Like it or not, I am part of a world what searches after possession and prestige as if they are the key to happiness. Owning certain luxuries is called "living well." But is it, really? Living well is internal condition, not an external one. It means feeling good about myself. If I rely on something outside myself - possessions, people, places - the good feeling can be taken away as easily as it is given.
I want my feeling of worth to come from within, m place in the world to come from being at peace with myself. That is what the twelve-step program promises and delivers. The inner peace I achieve as I grow in the program enables me to provide for all my needs.
For Today: I cannot will myself to have peace of mind, but I can re-examine my priorities. Am I putting enough time and effort into activities that nurture my spirit?
Daily Affirmations:
I choose happiness over sadness. I choose freedom over bondage. I choose to love myself without judgement. I feel joy pumping through my veins.
I express my creativity.
