Be, do and have
"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."
-- Margaret Young
The formula for success is Be, Do, Have. If we seek abundance, we must be abundant in spirit. We can begin to cultivate spiritual wealth by opening our hearts in gratitude.
Start a gratitude journal today. Each evening, write down at least 5 things for which you are grateful. This simple tool will help you open your eyes to the abundance of your world right now.
"Who does not thank for little will not thank for much."
-- Estonian proverb

Another one of those reminders that a grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up. They may find lots of excuses, but will find no reason.
All those little things add up to a big thing in the end.

It is okay to just be. You don't always have to be doing, but it is important to do. We need to participate and take part in our life. It is okay to have "stuff" but I found that peace if mind, food for the body, mind, and soul, and sleep as important commodities that enrich my life and yet can be in short supply. Things like nature, a smile, a friend, etc. are priceless.
