Sometimes we find ourselves wanting things to be different right away. When that doesn't happen, we may feel angry & upset that our needs are not being met, our wishes not fulfilled.=20
Now we're learning that change doesn't come from outside us, but from within. When we're looking for kindness & compassion, we must find it first in our own hearts. When we need order & discipline in our lives, we need to find them within ourselves.=20 =20
In the beginning, taking such an active role may seem strange to us. But in time we come to relish changing our own lives for the better instead of waiting for change to happen....New things are there for us to learn...
We are not alone. And we are not helpless. We're learning to look forward to a new & exciting way of life - one day at a time.=20
Today help me remember to help myself.
