June 26 - How many of us would presume to announce, "Well, I'm on my way
to licking the gambling habit. What more can I want, or do:? I'm fine
just the way I am." Experience has taught us that the price of such
smug complacency - or, more politely, self-satisfaction - is an
inevitable backslide, punctuated sooner or later by a very rude
awakening. We have to grow, or else we deteriorate. For us, the status
quo can only be for today, never for tomorrow. Change we must; we
can't stand still.
Am I sometimes tempted to rest on my laurels?
Today I Pray - May I look around me and see that all living things are
either growing or deteriorating; nothing that is alive is static Life
flows on. May I be carried along on that life-flow, unafraid of change,
disengaging myself from the snags along the way that hold me back and
interrupt my progress.
Today I Will Remember - Living is changing.
