Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
You can observe a lot just by watching.
-- Yogi Berra
When we watch others, we learn how to "act as if." We watch a patient person and then we "act as if" we're a patient person. The result? Over time, we'll become a patient person. We watch how good listeners listen, and we "act as if" we know how to listen. Then one day, we realize we're really listening! We watch people who have faith, and we "act as if" we have it. Then over time, we become spiritual people!
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me find You in the people and events of my day.
Action for the Day
I will "act as if" my Higher Power is standing next to me all through the day.
