Daily Meditation for January 27 and January 28

Good Morning, Friends!  My apologies for the delay of yesterday's meditation.  My studies have resumed, so there may be times I will add 2 days into one.  Without further adue, here is yesterday's and today's meditation.  I hope you find them meaningful.  Much love, light and peace to you.

January 27

 

Surviving meant being born over and over.

 

--Erica Jung

 

We have decided to live.  And each day we make the decision anew.  Each time we call a friend, work a step, or go to a meeting, we re renewing our contract with life.  We are being reborn.  Before coming to this program we died, emotionally and spiritually, many times.  Some of us nearly died physically.  But here we are, starting a new day, looking for guidance from one another.  We are the survivors.  And survival is there for the taking.

 

We will have days when we struggle with our decision to live.  We will want to throw in the towel.  We will want to give in or give up.  But we've learned from one another about choices.  and the choice to survive, knowing we never have to do it alone, gets easier with time.

I am one of the survivors.  Today is my day for celebration.

January 28

 

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

 

--Billie Jean King

 

Champions are made.  How lucky we are to have the steps to guide us to become champions.  The program promises us self-awareness, but we have to put forth the effort.  And the process isn't always easy.  We have liabilities, all of us, and it's generally easier to see them than our assets.  Self-awareness is recognizing both.  To become a champion, whether as an athlete, a homemaker, a teacher, a secretary, or an attorney, is to maximize the assets and minimize the liabilities, but to accept the existence of both.  The program that we share offers us daily opportunities to know ourselves, to help other women know themselves, and to strengthen our assets along the way.  We can feel our assets growing, and it feels good.  We can see our liabilities diminish, and it feel good.  The program offers us a championship.

I can strengthen my assets, first by knowing them, and then by emphasizing them repeatedly.  I'll focus on one today.
