Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.--M. C. RichardsWhat you do for a living is not who you are. You are more, much more, than that.It's easy to get so caught up in what we do that we're only identifying ourselves through our daily tasks. I am a mechanic. I am a parking lot attendant. I am a doctor. I am a dishwasher. When we link ourselves too closely to our jobs, we deny ourselves the chance to ever be anything else.God gave us the power to change. You're more than what you do. You're a vital vibrant soul that came here to experience, grow, and change. Make a masterpiece out of your life.God, help me realize the glory of my soul. Thank you for my mortality and for the ability to learn and grow. You are reading from the book: More Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie More Language of Letting Go © 2000 by Melody Beattie.
