Work (Weekly Recovery Reflection)

Before recovery I was always thinking about what I would do some day with all this potential I'd been told I had.

My Thoughts

It is not who I think I am, not what skills or talent I possess, but what I'm doing that counts. Before recovery I was always thinking about what I would do some day with all this potential I'd been told I had. Thinking, not doing. In recovery I was told to set aside the thinking and get into action. It is in action, and effort, that our potential is realized. Everyone has potential; the key is what you're doing with it.

Action for the Week

Today, I will get into action, not into thinking. I will focus on what I can do today.
