The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. –Socrates
In the program, we often hear “change your behavior to fix your thinking” or “do the next right thing.” Reading this quote, really cemented the ideas behind those two slogans for me. I realize that I often beat myself up over what I have done wrong and focus primarily on what I did in the past. Being in the program helps me to learn to be aware of and accept my past and focus on taking action and making the right choices for me in the future.

Yes I am a pro at beating myself up. I should be black and blue!
