Remember Mindfulness – enjoy the moment

Choices

Life is a series of choices. Some are more important
than others and then there are the big choices: what
we believe in, how we will live our lives. It is a
shame that we get so many choices wrong. Like
children, when we sober up, we must learn the
process of making choices. Most people process
choices through their value system, perhaps
subconsciously. But addiction has distorted our
values, so we are in danger, in early sobriety, of
making unhealthy choices. Our new life requires t
guidance. Will I ask my Higher Power for help?

Sometimes we are reluctant to make choices
because we fear possible consequences. Yet
hesitation and indecisiveness often make things
worse. The ancient Roman philosopher Seneca said:
It is not because things are difficult that we do not
dare, it is because we do not dare, that things are
difficult. Can I remember what it was that worried
me a week ago? Probably not. But a year from now, I
may wish I had taken some action today that I failed
to do, out of fear. I will seek help from my Higher
Power when making choices.
