If there's a harder way of doing something, someone will find it. -- Ralph E. Ross
When we used alcohol or other drugs, we did most things the hard way. We could turn a simple task into a day-long project. We could turn a simple problem into an argument. We were creative giants in doing things the hard way!
We need to change this. We deserve easier lives. It's okay to take the smooth road. In our program, we have slogans for this: Keep It Simple, Let Go and Let God, First Things First, and Easy Does It. These slogans remind us that it's okay to live with as little trouble as possible.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, show me how to live a simple life. I don't have to do everything the hard way if I listen better to You.
Action for the Day
I'll list three or four things I do that make my life harder than it needs to be. I'll share them with a friend.
Larry, Yes, life is much easier if we let go and let god. I like the saying we can make plans- but can't plan the outcome. We also need to be flexible within ourselves and practice acceptance because God's plans don't always match ours.
Heaven helps those who help themselves. Sometimes the things which are difficult to do are the things worth doing. Successful people often work hard to achieve positive results. What kind of Parent would God be if he always did all the work for his kids?
