The World is Ours

While making the decision to be sober was the best thing I’ve ever done, it’s also one of the hardest. Not only because not drinking is hard, but also because we live in a society where most everyone around us drinks. Although new to this lifestyle, I have noticed that I really can be a positive influence. I noticed that by changing my surroundings I can be impact positively. Life will work for me when I realize I must put first things first! And until I became sober, I believed that I needed to go someplace special to find the power, strength and love through other things. But now I am remembering, acknowledging, trusting and expressing gratitude and being present right where I am.

The world is yours for the taking. This simply means you can have anything in the world if you set your mind to it. You are unrestricted in your boundaries as in “the stars are the limit”. I used to be caught up, put off, confused by the way things appear to be. I was fooled by the appearances of things and people around me. But now I am devoted and have the spiritual insight into the good of the world. I have made the choice to simply let go. I am now hanging loose, being free and going with the flow. I have decided to drop my hands to my sides, take a deep breath and relax. If this does not work the first time, I plan to do it again and again until it does work. The world is mine and I plan to make the best of it now!
