|  Stop expecting too much from yourself.
~AnonymousWhen there is too wide a gap between standards we set for ourselves and our actual achievement, unhappiness follows. If we can't improve the performance, we should lower the demands. When we are true to ourselves, we come to expect only that which we are capable of doing. As we grow each day in recovery, we are able to do more. What we expect from ourselves can change the next day. It is very important that through our meetings and conversations with fellow members, we keep close tabs on our development. We find out that life is for living, and it is better lived when we do our assignments every day. We are really never given more than we can do. As long as we have realistic goals, we will be given what we need to succeed.
Today I'll remember that when my expectations are too high, I get stuck and down on myself.
Today's thought is a reading from the book;
