TRY TO JUST LIVE FOR TODAY -
"Living just for
today relieves the
burden of the past and
the fear of the future. We
learned to take whatever
actions are necessary and
to leave the results in the
hands of our Higher
Power." (The Basic
Text, p. 74)
AND LIVE IN THE NOW -
"First, we try liv-
ing in the now just
in order to stay sober
- and it works. Once the
idea has become a part of
our thinking, we find that liv-
ing life in 24-hour segments
is an effective and sa-
tisfying way to handle
many other matters
as well." (Living
Sober, p.7)
"It's being here
now that's impor-
tant. There's no past
and there's no future.
Time is a very mislead-
ing thing. All there is ever,
is the now. We can gain
experience from the past,
but we can't relive it; and
we can hope for the fu-
ture, but we don't
know if there
is one."
- George Harrison (1943 - 2001) musician & songwriter (the Beatles)
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
