Obstacles into Blessings

[SunnyGirl]

Five Ways You Can Face Obstacles
and Turn Them Into Blessings

• Never dwell on the cause of the obstacle. Rise
  above it and change the way you respond to it. It
  only has as much power as you're willing to give it.
  
  
• Check your attitude. Know that you have the ability
  to control the outcome, and/or to choose the answer
  that's right for you.
  
  
• Think of an alternative. If one answer doesn't work,
  or if it doesn't feel right, try another way to get to the
  best solution.
  
  
• Realize that your view of the obstacle is what may
  determine how much impact it has on your life.
  
  
• Think about what you were doing just before the
  obstacle happened. Don't make excuses to yourself.
  Turn the obstacle into a positive motivator. Then find
  a way to move toward your goal. --unknown

Recovery is a journey, sometimes the road is bumpy
and sometimes it's a long straight road. I know from
experience, that God never gives us more than we
can handle. It may feel like it at times, but if HE leads
us to it, HE will lead us through it. I look back at this
past year and there were times that I was sure I
would stumble and fall. And I did! But the important
part is, I got up and continued the journey. When the
going gets tough, reach out to your recovery friends
and to a loving Higher Power, who will help you over
the obstacles that seem to be blocking your path.

Peace on the journey and a very happy New Year, SG
