Believe in Yourself
The Universe by nature is loving and supportive. Successful people know how
to tap this support by enlisting the cooperation of others in order to achieve
their goals. They also know that to receive support, they must first support
themselves.
An entrepreneur once told his fellow inventors, "Before others will believe in
you, you must believe in yourself. Your faith in yourself will attract investment
capital more than any business plan could."
Unfortunately, the people who need the most support often have the hardest
time asking for it. Growing up in an environment where love was denied, they
don't believe they deserve it. This is why it is important to affirm our basic
worthiness.
People want to extend themselves to you; it feels good to give. Encourage them
to do so by believing in yourself and reaching out for what you want. The
Universe will reach back to take your hand. Believe in yourself and others will
believe in you. It cannot be otherwise.
-From the book "Listening To Your Inner Voice" by Douglas Bloch
- Please remember to bring in your 7th tradition meeting donations to the montly service meeting. The formula is 80% to the 12-Step house and 20% to the CoDa service group. Each group should keep a prudent reserve of $10-$15 for individual meeting expenses such as chips, literature, etc.
