All We Do is Try

I have to be willing to let go of the shortcomings I’ve come to let live in my mind and habits. I have to be able to name them, to recognize them when they show up, and then to trust that my Higher Power has my permission to take them from me.

This is, to me, a perfect use of “fake it till you make it”. How do I know that a character defect has been removed if I allow myself to fall back into my default settings? I must act ‘as if” - as if I believe I no longer need this particular crutch or that same old reaction when confronted with life’s challenges. I step out in trust that, having identified those defects, and having asked that they be removed, a new way of dealing with the situations which used to set me off will now reveal itself. 

I have the opportunities to practice every day. May the Power of Love fill my tank with compassion for others as well as myself. 

All I can do, on a daily basis, is to maintain connection with my Creator, and to honestly try.
