*November 8th*

If someone were to say to me: "Here is a medicine that can change your whole life for the better; it will put you in a state of relaxed serenity; help you overcome the nagging undercurrent of guilt for past errors, give you new insight into yourself and your spiritual value, and let you meet life's challenges with confidence and courage." Would I take it?

This is available to us if we do not cling to our burdens, our emotional upsets, family wrangling and wretchedness.

Today's Reminder
I will set aside a time each day to center my thoughts on what I can do to change my circumstances to the good. I will realize how constant self-examination maintains a healthy point of view.

It is no easy assignment, but life without good self-examination is not easy either. My choice will be to take this beneficial medicine and let its healing magic work in me.

"I pray that I may grow in my ability to use each day with poise, wisdom and a touch of humor. With God's help, I can teach myself not to turn little troubles into big ones."
