Guarantee

I realize that all I'm guaranteed in life is today.
The poorest person has no less and the wealthiest has no more-- each of us has but one day.

What we do with it is our own business, how we use it is up to us individually.
I feel that I have been restored to health and sanity these past yearsnot through my own efforts nor as a result of anything I may have done,but because I've come to believe -- to really believe --that I alone can do nothing.
That my own innate selfishness and stubbornness are the evils which,if left unguarded, can drive me to alcohol.
c. 1976 AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous [3rd Edition], p. 471

What are you coming to believe?
Belief is a continuing action.
