Today –
Before
A.A., I judged myself by my intentions, while the world was
judging
me by my actions.

Somehow
my life began to improve. I can’t tell you why my life was
changing
or how doing things such as being where I said I would be,
when
I said I would be, would have the impact on my life that it did.

The
successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don't
like
to do. They don't like doing them either necessarily. But their
disliking
is subordinated to the strength of their purpose.
