Positive Defeats Negative

February 19 - When people say rash or ugly things, we sometimes say they are "forgetting themselves," meaning they're forgetting their best selves in a sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury.  If I remember the kind of person I want to be, hopefully I won't "forget myself" and yield to a fit of temper.  I'll believe that the positive always defeats the negative:  courage overcomes fear; patience overcomes anger and irritability; over overcomes hatred.

Am I always striving for improvement?

Today I Pray - Today I ask that God, to whom all things are possible, help me turn negatives into positives - anger into super energy, fear into a chance to be courageous, hatred into love.  May I take time out to remember examples of such positive from negative transformations from the whole of my lifetime.  Uppermost is God's miracle:  my freedom from slavery of gambling addiction.

Today I Will Remember - Turn negatives into positives.
