Believing that we deserve better is the first step.

Some people believe that there’s power in believing. Our expectations shape what happens in our lives—they can actually make things turn out the way we expect. If we’re always expecting bad things, we’ll end up seeing a lot of bad stuff. But if we expect good things, we’ll start to notice them too.

How does that work? Well, it’s not just about wishing things into existence. It’s about focusing on the good in every situation. When we choose to look for the positive, we begin to see it more clearly. This mindset helps us spot opportunities that can lead to a better life. The key idea is simple: the bigger plan for our lives is always meant to help us, even if it feels tough at first. If we believe it’s for our growth, we can see the potential in even the hardest moments.

Today’s Affirmation:

I will monitor what I believe about every experience I have today. Looking for opportunities will help me see them.

A Life Of My Own

Since 1954, A Life Of My Own has been a stable force in the recovery of many alcoholics worldwide. With over nine million copies in print (the original text has been revised), this “little book” offers daily thoughts, meditations, and prayers for living a clean and sober life. It is a spiritual resource with practical applications in our daily lives.

Karen Casey is also the best-selling author of Each Day a New Beginning, a daily meditation for Women. She has spoken on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth for more than twenty years. Casey is passionate about helping others in the Twelve Step support groups, where her own recovery from addiction began more than three decades ago.
