Don't Think About the Problem

Attention to obstacles makes them bigger and more stubborn; attention to shortages makes them bigger and prolongs them—and attention to a problem prevents any immediate resolution or solution. ~ Abraham
When the urge to eat that treat clutches your thoughts,
when a commitment to call your sponsor weighs on your mind,
brings a tenacious dread, when the need to straighten out the thinking,
the behavior, the attitude of your spouse, your co-worker, your friend
occupies your mind, you have a problem, one known as self-will,
and your obsession cements the issue in your mind. Help hovers near,
though, in six simple words. "Your will, not mine be done."
Release the concern, surrender control, and reclaim the serenity you had...
or find it for the first time in your life!
