Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Is it necessary to have read Spinoza in order to make out a laundry list? — Jeanne Detourbey

Each day presents us with decisions. Most are relatively small-what to eat or wear or read, how to organize our tasks, with whom to spend time. But at times we face life-changing decisions: where to live or work, whether to undertake more education, whether to commit ourselves to a relationship.

We can view each choice as an opportunity to express our freedom, our unique character, and our ease with ourselves. We needn’t fear that we’ll make a “wrong” decision. Our mistakes are our teachers; they are essential to our process of growth and understanding. Whether our decisions come from common sense, intuition, the voice of inner guidance, or our Higher Power, our answers are already inside us. We can be confident in our innate ability to make the right choices.

Today, I make both large and small decisions with confidence.
