Today's Gift 07-10 (Robbie)

When I read this, I first thought of Robbie's trouble with the AA 'way of doing things' ... I pray he reads this and takes it for the value it holds ... 

 

 

Limited expectations yield only limited results.
- Susan Laurson Willig 


Our thoughts determine our actions, and when our thoughts are negative, our successes are few. What we hold in our mind is certain to be reflected in the day's activities. And we are capable of fueling our thoughts positively, if we choose to.

Positive self-assessment and uplifting pep talks can become habitual if our desire to live up to our potential is great enough. The expectations we privately harbor, be they small or far-reaching, will set the pace for the progress we make today, and every day.

We can greet a challenge with eager anticipation when we've grown accustomed to believing in our capability for success. First, we must expect to handle, with poise, whatever confronts us.

No one but me determines my course today. My success begins in my mind.

It's that poise thing I sometimes have trouble with!!

I have gotten better, but I do get thrown for a loop sometimes by obstalces, be they big or small!!

Thanks.......I'll try to put this into practice more often!!

It's a gift to read, reflect and write upon these matters!!

I hope for Robbie also.....if he is still hanging around, he may get it!!

 Pray hard Pappy. Pray hard.
