Oct. 27, 2013 - Today's Gift from Hazelden

Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013
Today's thought from Hazelden is:
It's easy to look at all the tasks and unsolved problems and feel so pressured that we get paralyzed and don't get anything done. It takes discipline to gather in our scattered forces and focus on one thing, one day, one step, and sometimes one hour – even when taking only that one step can seem so trivial in the face of all that looms.
Inventory Focus:Are you creating unnecessary fear and drama by taking on more than you handle? Are you willing to trade in the I'm-out-of-control-and-overwhelmed feeling for a sense of manageability? Do you have any history with deliberately living life one day or one step at a time? How did that work?
Plans, goals, and dreams are good, but the only way to get there is one day at a time.
