“The great law of culture: Let each become all that he or she was created capable of being.”
~ Thomas Carlyle ~
I am capable of great things. The history of humankind is the history of art, music, poetry, and romance. Each person, including me, is capable of great and noble acts—but do I want to do them?
The power of freedom and choice is the determining factor in my life. Every culture has imaginative and creative features, but nothing will happen in my life unless I make it so. The same is true of the culture of recovery. The people who make up the recovering community are the people who make a decision and act upon it. I must remember talk is cheap and cruel unless I follow it with an action. My decisions must be realistic. I always have the capacity to be honest and kind.
May I not only be grateful for my culture but live to add something to it.
