Reflection
The opening quote is so accurate.
I learned the importance of living step by step in the early days of my sobriety.
Whenever someone asked me if I was ever going to drink or drug again, I would tell them that I didn’t know, but I planned on staying sober that day, and I would worry about tomorrow when tomorrow arrived.
The wasteful worries of life are best tamed when we are able to move on from the past, have no expectations of the future, and take God at His word.
Matthew 6:34 says, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Plan – A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort—Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to consistent and focused effort toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude—If you believe you will achieve your dream, your chances of achieving it increase exponentially. Remember that your attitude determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. So put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
I love your opening quote as well as its author. What a testimony she has! Thank you for these good words today! In the words of another wonderful writer, the late Elisabeth Elliot, who reminded us when we feel overwhelmed by the big picture, “Do the next thing.”
