Recovery Meditations: April 23rd

~ BIRTHRIGHT ~

I've continued to recognize the power individuals have
to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant.
I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us,
merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

Anthony Robbins


I have divine origins because I am part of my Higher Power. Whether I see my Higher Power as a male, female or neither; no matter if I experience my Higher Power as a Heavenly Parent, a Divine Friend, or a Great Spirit; whether I find my Higher Power in a temple, in the mountains, or in my child's eyes ... I am connected to something greater than myself, my problems, and my fears. The who, what, where, when, and how of my Higher Power are not important. I don't have to completely understand HP because my HP understands me.

I have been endowed with all the things I need to be successful in recovery and in life. All I have to do is step up and claim them. I have intellect, I have emotion, and I have a spirit. All of those things have a direct line to my Higher Power. What I can't yet access is given to me as a gift when I claim my divine birthright by simply saying, "I can't. You can. I think I'll let You." What greater power is there than to give our power to our Higher Power? Knowing when I can't do it alone is a gift!

One Day at a Time . . .
I will remember I come from royalty. I will remember my divine birthright and step up to claim it. Today I will not sell my divine birthright for a mess of pottage.

*******************************************************

On June 11, 2008, I decided to wake up & claim my birthright.  I didn't feel like I'd descended from royalty up to that point, for a bunch of reasons.

On June 11, 2008, I decided to change all that..........to step up and say I DO matter; I DO belong; I AM worth it!

By asking God to help me, & by surrendering MY will & accepting His, I am freed from the obsessions that were wreaking havoc with my life.

I can't do this alone, nor do I want to! The guidance and serenity that comes to me from my Higher Power is all I need to live.  I can't; He can; I think I'll let Him.

Is every day easy? No! There are plenty of days where I struggle, in fact.  When I have a hard day, I discover it is due to the fact that I have lost my connection to God in some way.  That's when I regroup, refocus, and remember that I am NOT alone.

For today, I will not sell my divine birthright for a mess of pottage.
