Now Or Never

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle,
but you shall be the miracle.
-- Phillips Brooks

Living is a thing you do,
now or never!
Which do you?
-- Piet HeinGrooks

Cherish all your happy moments:
They make a fine cushion for old age.
-- Booth Tarkington

Five Minutes

Don't quit five minutes before the miracle happens.
--Anonymous

The most important miracle I can expect and count on each day Is the freedom from my addiction.
I can trust that if I stay close to the Program, the miracle will be repeated, one day at a time.

Seeing the Miracle of Multiplication

The opposite of a scarcity mentality is an abundancy mentality.
With an abundancy mentality we say: "There is enough for everyone, more than enough: food, knowledge, love ... everything."
With this mind-set we give away whatever we have, to whomever we meet.
When we see hungry people we give them food.
When we meet ignorant people we share our knowledge; when we encounter people in need of love, we offer them friendship and affection and hospitality and introduce them to our family and friends.
When we live with this mind-set, we will see the miracle that what we give away multiplies: food, knowledge, love ... everything.
There will even be many leftovers.
