When you let go of your doubts you also let go of your limitations.

I love the serenity prayer (no I'm not in recovery, I just like it) ... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

That last part is left out most often...I'm glad you included it!

It seems Thoreau had a profound effect on many..eeh? As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

I am in recovery, and we add 1 more line- "and the good luck not to **** up too often".

"This too shall pass" - this one may turn into a tattoo at some point.

To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. It's entirely too easy to see why he has such an affect...smart fella, that one! Thanks for the addition...excellent choice!
