Achievement of a Life Goal

We truly can do these things that are our "hearts' pure desires." However, most of us look at the whole task and feel overwhelmed.

We need, instead, to look at the task's many parts. One part at a time, one day at a time, we can accomplish any goal we set for ourselves. I know a recovering woman who wrote a 300-page dissertation, the final achievement to obtain her PhD. When asked at a meeting how she ever did it, her reply was, "One word at a time." That's wonderful advice.

No matter how many goals were missed or plans dashed when we were still using, now that we are recovering, each of us can do whatever is in our hearts--if we do it little by little, not all at once, today.

Today, I will do one small task that will contribute toward the achievement of a life goal.
