~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

I have been told over and over that I must constantly work to give up my old ideas.  "That's easy for you to say," I've sometimes thought.  All my life, I have been programmed, computer-style; specific inputs brought forth predictable responses.  My mind still tends to react as a computer reacts, but I am learning to destroy the old tapes and literally reprogram myself.  AM I FULLY WILLING TO ABANDON MY OLD IDEAS?  AM I BEING FEARLESS AND THOROUGH ON A DAILY BASIS?

TODAY I PRAY

Help me to take inventory each day of my stock of my new, healthy thoughts, throwing out the old ones as I happen upon them without regret or nostalgia.  For I have outgrown those old ideas, which are as scuffed and run-over as an old pair of shoes.  Now, in the light, I can see that they are filled with holes.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
