As for the future, your task is not to foresee, but to enable it.Today, I am not planning the outcome, I am only working my process. I ask God to help direct the outcome of my actions, the changes I am making, and my recovery. I take responsibility for my wild self, just as the Little Prince did the fox, the flower.
Never in a million years did I realize how much work recovery would be. Now I know it takes daily, consistent, dedicated effort. There are no days off. There are no holidays. These are false luxuries which set me back in my recovery. I choose daily - am I working toward recovery, am I making myself more able? Or am I choosing a set back, self harm? And I make my choice. Free will. Yet I know I am happier if I surrender my wilful, wild self to what someone who loves me wants for me, what my Higher Power would want me to be. There's work involved in that but it is worth it.
Another quote attributed to Antoine de Saint Exupery that fits with today is, "The one thing that matters is the effort."
Blessed be.
