Today's
Gift
Courage doesn't always
roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says:
"I'll try again tomorrow." --Anne Hunninghake
A key quality that distinguishes a successful
athlete, or a top-notch performer in any field, is the way he responds to his
bad days. Everyone has good days and bad days, and the good ones are certainly
easier to handle. But do we allow the bad ones to throw us off our course? Are
we so shaken by our mistakes or troubles that we lose our focus on our
goals?
Adult development is a process; it's never an end
goal that we reach and hold. Our healing and recovery includes preparing
ourselves to respond well to the bad days. We can do that by keeping our eye on
the big picture, knowing that however bad things may seem at the moment, they
will change. We learn to reach deep into our spiritual center for the courage to
stay focused in the midst of our hardest days. We don't have to do it alone. We
have the spiritual support of our Higher Power and the companionship of our
friends to keep us on the path.
Today I will stay in touch with my spiritual
center to find the courage for another day.
