Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. — Eleanor Roosevelt
Most of us want to be happy. We just don’t know how. We aren’t sure what happiness is. We’ve learned the hard way that some things we wanted didn’t make us happy.
We’re learning that happiness comes when we live the way our Higher Power wants us to live. That’s when we’re honest. When we do our best work. When we are a true friend. We make happiness; we don’t find it.
Sometimes we don’t even know we’re happy. We’re too busy with our work, our recovery program, our friends and family. We need to slow down and know that when we do what we need to, happiness comes.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me know that I’m most happy when I listen to You and do Your will. You know better than I do what will make me happy.
Action for the Day
What parts of my program am I most happy about? Today I’ll think of these and enjoy myself.
Hazelden Foundation
