Today, I Will Focus On

We Don't Want To Give The Controls To Someone Else; We Want Those Reins Ourselves. We Want To Get Our Way. And We Get Upset When Things Don't Work Out. . . . When We Try To Control Someone Else Or Events Beyond The Scope Of Our Power, We Lose. When We Learn To Discern The Difference Between What We Can Change And What We Can't, We Usually Have An Easier Time Expressing Our Power In Our Lives. Because We're Not Wasting All Our Energy Using Our Power To Change Things We Can't, We Have A Lot Of Energy Left Over To Live Our Lives.

Wants And Needs Are Closely Connected. And All Our Needs, Even The Ones We're Not Completely Aware Of Yet, Will Be Met. Be Grateful That God Knows More About What We Need Than We Do. Sometimes When We Pray, We Get What We Want. Sometimes We Get What We Need. Accept Both Answers-the Yes's And The Something Else's-with Heartfelt Gratitude. Then Look Around And See What Your Lesson And Gift Is.

A Codependent Person Is One Who Has Let Another Person's Behavior Affect Him Or Her And Who Is Obsessed With Controlling That Person's Behavior.

Today I Will Simply Accept. I Will Relinquish The Need To Be In Resistance To Myself And My Environment In Any Way. I Will Move Forward In Joy By Accepting Where I Am Right Now.

When We Don't Ask For What We Want And Need, We Discount Ourselves.
