Today's thought is:
We can stop making mountains out of molehills.
Learning to let go of the choices other people make takes away much of the angst we have grown accustomed to. Letting go of the outcome of all experiences, even those that involve us, frees our minds from the needless worry that keeps us stuck. The more we focus on a problem, our own or someone else's, the bigger it gets.
Why do we worry so much? For some of us, it has become a habit. Lucky for us, by sharing the Twelve Step journey we can learn how not to worry. The solution is to have faith that our Higher Power will take care of us. And the others in our lives have their Higher Power to care for them. Learning to give up our old ways of "doing" life unburdens us profoundly. The time we'll gain will allow us to do what we really need to do.
My perspective today will be healthy. I'll let go and let God.
You are reading from the book:
A Life of My Own by Karen Casey
This is so true. When I remember to rely on my faith and to trust that I will be taken care of, just like I always have been I can get through anything. This program has taught me that my HP never abandons me, rather I fail to listen to his words or grab his outstretched hand. When I remember to stay in the moment and be where my hands are I tend to remember to reach for that hand. So everyday I try to stay in the moment and remember that the hand is always there when I stumble. All I have to do is reach for it.

I really enjoy and appreciate the sections you pull from the reading you do. There is so much spiritual encouragement and offerings. I am really thankful to be a part of this program and listen to others as they too seek spiritual growth.
The only time God isn't with me is when I walk away from Him
Awesome quote!!! Thanks for sharing it! I'm glad to know the hands are always there, as long as I remember to reach for them! : )
