”How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world.” Anne Frank

The quote above reminds me of another which I really appreciate “Each moment is a gift, that is why it’s called the present” I believe that we truly do have the power to make the world a better place, right here, right this instant. No matter how big or small the impact, I can improve my surroundings. It starts simply with me making changes to be a better person and live a better life. I still struggle in surrendering those things that are not within my power to control. Most days it is easier to let go of things from the distant past than those that have happened to me recently. I guess that is probably normal; recent events are more powerful and do need some time to be processed and to feel their full effect. My primary focus in recovery is always to work on myself. The best place for me to effect change is in my behaviours, attitudes and outlook. As I let go of my defects of character, I become a more useful person to my family, to my workplace, and to my community at large. The power for me to start down that new path exists within me and I can choose to begin right now.

Affirmation Today I will look at the changes I can make to start making a difference in the world.
