LIVING IN THE NOW...
I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment. It takes place every day. ----- Albert Camus
We live our program in one day portions - and our actions today have immediate consequences. For instance, if we listen to a person share in the program, we may be enriched, and that person strengthened, for today's challenges. We don't have to confront every temptation of life on this day - only the portion we can handle. Our old insanity would have us predict the entire story-line of our future from today's skewed & limited viewpoint. But our spiritual orientation guides us to restrain ourselves. We simply live in this now moment. We move forward & make progress by doing the next right thing.
Recovery rewards are granted to us daily. We begin with the gift of a new day and new possibilities. Today, we have relationships that sustain us through difficulty and give us reasons to celebrate. We have renewed feelings of dignity, self respect, hope, gratitude & faith.
I am grateful for the many rewards of my continuous, daily, spiritual awakenings.
