April 18                  Essentially

“The grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do, something to love,
and something to hope for.”           
~ Allan K. Chalmers

What the alcoholic essentially needs to do is to stop drinking.

Something to do is to be kind, loving, patient and tolerant, forgiving

and just be the person your Higher Power expects you to be.

Something to love is yourself, others and this beautiful world

given to all by the Great Creator.

Something to hope for is a better world, happy, joyous and free

because you are willing to do the next right thing in service to

yourself, others and the Spirit of the Universe.

Happiness is essentially an inside job.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

April 17 Winning Attitude

“When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order. “
~ Meister Eckhart

Learn to live life on God’s terms.

God said so, therefore, if you agree with God you will never be thwarted.

God will grant you the serenity, the peace of mind and a happy,

joyous and free life if your attitude comes from a kind heart.

Have faith that the courage needed to change the things

that you can will be there when your attitude improves.

Have a winning attitude, the one that can best be of loving

service to self, others and the God of your understanding.

Happiness is never being thwarted.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
