Heavy dependence upon anything outside ourselves is addiction. We all know that we can be addicted to drugs and alcohol, to sex and tobacco or to working. However, we can also be addicted to blaming and judging other people, to illness, to debt, to being a victim or a martyr, to being rejected or to struggling.Yet, we always have the power to move beyond those things. Because being addicted is giving up your power to a substance, a habit, a person, place or thing, you can always take your power back. Today, is the day ! Today, recognize that in every moment you have a choice. Today, choose to develop the positive habit of knowing that life is always here for you-that life happens for you not to you. No substance, no person, no job, no amount of money has any power over your life except the power that you have given it. Today consciously reclaim you power and create the life you desire. You always have a choice!

Just for today, I stand on my own two feet. I accept and use my own power. I accept that in every moment I have the power to change my life. I claim that power now and I lovingly create my own reality. And so it is.
