Daily meditation for January 29

Good Afternoon, here is today's meditation.
 
January 29
"I can't help it"...that's what we all say when we don't want to exert ourselves.
 
--Eva Lathbury
 
Irresponsible behavior is not unfamiliar to us.  Passivity is equally familiar.  In the past, excusing ourselves of all responsibility prevented us from being blamed.  We have learned that it also prevented us from feeling worthy, from fulfilling our potential, from feeling the excitement that comes with achievement.
 
Our fear of failure helped us to be irresponsible.  We may still fear failure, but the program offers us an antidote.  We can't fail if we have turned our lives over to our higher power.  We will be shown the way to proceed.  Our fellow travelers have messages for us that will smooth our path.

I have chosen recovery.  I have already said, "I can help it."  I will celebrate that I am taking responsibility for my life today.
