In today's episode of the Recovery Daily Podcast, I talk about the timeless question: "What do I want to be when I grow up?" While often asked of children, this question remains relevant throughout our lives. It’s more than just pondering our career though—it's who we aspire to be. Let's focus on what we want to be today, because tomorrow never truly arrives; it's always today, and we must make the most of it.
Drawing inspiration from today's Thought for the Day on the Hazeldon Betty Ford website, I explore the following concepts as they apply to the twelfth step and what we aspire to be today: confidence, confession, conviction, conversion, and continuance.
I examine how sharing our experiences builds confidence in others and ourselves, how confession helps us stay honest and connected, how conviction keeps us committed to our principles, how we convert into better versions of ourselves, and how continuance allows us to withstand this lifelong journey of recovery with the same passion each day.
This episode is a reminder to live fully and purposefully today, focusing on the present moment and the actions we can take now. Reflecting on these principles can guide us in becoming who we want to be, one day at a time.
