Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Positive Outlook
Flying is largely a matter of having the right outlook.
— E.B. White
We may not make it if we don’t have the outlook that success is within our reach if we practice the principles of our program. Nobody believed that it would ever be possible for man to fly. Then the Wright brothers proved that it could be done. What was said to be impossible was there to be achieved.
Naturalists have proved for centuries that the bumblebee technically can’t fly. But the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it continues to amaze them by flying.
A positive outlook is necessary if we are to make our program fly. When we lose that positive outlook, we lose hope and crash. Optimism means letting go of worry about the future. The future is in the hands of our Higher Power, and there’s no better place for it to be.
With a positive outlook, I can accomplish success in my recovery program. Without it, I’m going nowhere.
