~ FEAR ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
When thinking won't cure fear, action will.
W. Clement Stone
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
When I first came into the program, I was
told that I couldn't think my way into positive
actions, but I could act my way into positive
thinking. I learned that this was a simple
program of action; that if I wanted what you
had, I had to do what you did. None of these
clichés made any sense to me; I would have
to think these over. The nerve of these people
telling me that they would do my thinking for
me, that all I had to do was follow directions!
They prodded and badgered me into working
the Steps out of real love and knowledge of
truth. I realize now that my actions
demonstrated to God my desire to change,
and He gave me the courage to try living
another way. Most importantly, though, He
gave me you.
ONE DAY AT A TIME ...
Am I going to "keep on the firing line"
or rest on my laurels?
