You are reading from the book Today's Gift
When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice.
—William James
There are times when it's hard to make a decision. When we go to the fair, for instance, we may want to do more things than we have time for, so we don't know what plans to make. Waiting to decide until we see what the fair has to offer is one choice. Not deciding because we're afraid of what may happen is also a choice. We may find ourselves thinking so much about what could happen that we miss all the exciting things going on around us.
It's necessary to keep in mind that any course of action is a decision, but no decision is irreversible. We are free to do what we decide, and are freed by the awareness that whatever we do is based on our own decision and no one else's.
What important decisions shall I make without fear today?

The best thing I can do for my recovery is to look at myself instead of focusing on others. Remember the slogan, `Live and Let Live,` I can`t take a proper inventory and have an understanding of myself if I keep saying, `I am not as bad as they are.`
