Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny

Complacency

It is easy to rest on my laurels; however, this is a dangerous place to reside especially if spiritual growth is my goal. I can and do become stagnant, slipping subtly back into the old ways of reacting. I see the world through old glasses and old behaviors follow. When I am spiritually inactive and complacent I do not grow. When I am not growing it is impossible for me to be of maximum service to others. I can recommit at any moment and multiple times a day to the design for living that has delivered me from pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization. When I become aware that I am coasting and living off of yesterday’s action it is important for me to take action in the here and now. It is easy for me to find that the gifts subsequent to a new way of life can impede the process that delivered me to the other side of hopeless. Gratitude is action and when I become aware that I have become inactive it is simply a new opportunity for me to commit to change.

Today I will demonstrate Gratitude through my actions. Today I will begin the journey from stagnation to growth.
