Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Measuring our success
Success and happiness in working our program are subjective. They have to be. Personal satisfaction in anything depends on the individual’s perceptions. Members may comment on what makes for success and happiness in the program, but we can only measure it for ourselves. To judge success by another’s standards is being untrue to ourselves.
Some judge success in material terms, some in physical terms. Still others judge success in terms of emotional adjustment or mental and spiritual growth. It’s up to us and our Higher Power, not family, friends, or therapists. We alone measure our success.
How do I measure my success?
Higher Power, grant that all my thoughts, words, actions, and successes today will be directed by you.
Today I will examine my standards for success and happiness by…
