ACHIEVING SUCCESS —
We hear about people who snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Some of us do that even in sobriety, experiencing failure just as success seems imminent.
At times, we may just be suffering from a bad situation that is around us. But if we seem to be having one bad break after another, we should look more carefully within ourselves for causes. We may be punishing ourselves, or pushing away good situations simply because we do not feel we deserve them.
If we discover that this process is working in our lives, we must begin changing these false patterns immediately. Having forgiven ourselves and others, and having made amends, we need no punishment. We will work to succeed in all of our activities, with a reasonable expectation of success most of the time.
I'll carry with me today a belief that I deserve to succeed and will take all necessary action to earn my successes.
