November 18 - "Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little," wrote the Greek philosopher Epicurus. Now that we're free from gambling,and are building our self-respect and winning back the esteem of family and friend, we have to avoid becoming smug about our new-found success. For most of us, success has always been a heady brew; even in our new life, it's still possible to fall into the dangerous trap of "big-shotitis." As insurance, we ought to remember that we're free today only by the grace of God.
Will I remember that any success I have today is not only mine but God's?
Today I Pray - May I keep a constant string on the finger reminder that I have found freedom through the grace of God - just so I don't let my pride try to convince me I did it all myself. May I learn to cope with success by ascribing it to a Higher Power, not to my own questionable superiority.
Today I Will Remember - Learn to deal with success.
