~ BOLDNESS ~

Fortune & love befriend the bold~Ovid

 Passivity & patience are not the same thing. We can wait our whole lives for fortune or love to come our way, but if we don't initiate action(which means risking failure) the opportunities that pass before us daily will probably never be actualized.

 

Boldness is the opposite of passivity. To be bold means to choose our destination, to set our own course & to be brave enough to correct that course if we decide it's not taking us where we want to go. To be bold is to act~not with ruthless aggression~but with determined energy. It is to reach out & move toward what we are seeking rather than waiting for it to magically materialize.

 

When we are able to identify our wants & needs we become better at making choices & at plotting a personal program of growth. Learning to proceed this way takes courage & practice~& the firm conviction that we are worth the trouble.

 

Today, I will act, not react. This day I am a hammer, not a nail.

 

Days Of Healing Days Of Joy

oh oh (feels like arnold horshack from Welcome Back Cotter, lol) This is a goodie....ya know, one day, and I am not sure when, but since my health is picking up now, it will be sooner than later, i am sure.....I want to be a planner, I want to set goals....! I have not done that since high school! I am a little off topic here, but I see it fits in a bit? But oh my goal is for now, to work these steps, to then get well enough to go to school, to BOLDLY go where no kittyfrog has EVER gone...and if it were not for the help i've been getting, i know it would not be possible. There was a time, when I believed that stopping drinking was simply enough, and a little bit of AA, and hey, I'd be on my way....Today, I know better in my heart. Today I WANT a better way of living, cuz TODAY I deserve it... thank u di........
To a desolate person an act of kindness can be the difference between getting bitter and getting better..............
