Never Give Up The Dream

Rick taught me to never give up the dream…

I haven’t paid attention all that often – usually only when I need to the most. Like now.

Today’s Daily Reflection;

“We want to find exactly how, when, and where our natural desires have warped us. We wish to look squarely at the unhappiness this has caused others and ourselves. By discovering what our emotional deformities are, we can move toward their correction.”

Emotional deformities – that’ll stop ya’!

The response to the reflection says;

“Today I am no longer a slave to alcohol, yet in so many ways enslavement still threatens – my self, my desires, even my dreams. Yet without dreams I cannot exist: without dreams there is nothing to keep me moving forward.”

If I left the talk there I’d ignore the solution…

“I must look inside myself, to free myself. I must call upon God’s power to face the person I’ve feared the most, the true me, the person God created me to be.”

Whom I know only so slightly…

“Unless I can or until I do, I will always be running, and never be truly free. I ask God daily to show me such a freedom.”

I’m tired of running. I’d like to be free. It feels so much better.

I have a dream.
