December 22
~ RISING ABOVE ~ Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. Ralph Waldo Emerson One of the major premises of our recovery program is "progress, not perfection." No one but me expects me to be perfect. I have a history of driving myself in the quest for perfection. I've set goals that are so lofty that I could never acheive them. In that respect, I'm probably my own worst enemy. However, I can also be my own best friend. I don't have to set standards that are impossible for me to meet. In fact, we're told we need to live one day at a time. If I can do that, then I don't need to live up to my impossibly high standards. My goals aren't so out-of-reach if I can see them as daily things. What happens if I fail to meet even the "one day at a time" goal? I start over, knowing that I don't have to stay down. I can rise up and begin again. That, for me, is the greatest thing. One Day at a Time . . . I will rise above my failures and shortcomings, and know that I'm making progress. I don't have to be perfect any more. Jeff
