Taking It One Day at a Time

I'm taking it one day at a time.

One-day-at-a-time thinking reminds us that, in many cases, our greatest enemy is that otherwise critical nectar: hope and the perplexing emotion it tends to bring with it, impatience.

By limiting our horizons to tonight, we are girding ourselves for the long haul and remembering that an improvement may best be achieved when we manage not to await it too ardently.

It means recognising that we have no serious capacity to exercise our will on a span of years and should not therefore disdain a chance to secure one or two minor wins in the hours ahead of us.

We might look with fresh energy at a cloud, a duck, a butterfly, or a flower.

I needed to hear this, today. Thank you :)
