Supremely Satisfied

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s a day you’ve had everything to do and you’ve done it. ~ Margaret Thatcher

Do what you cannot to to learn how to do it.
Take on an impossible challenge and grin
when you get ninety percent done, when you see
that you can finish it…or do better than you imagined.
Throw down the gauntlet and invite yourself
to accept the dare. Don’t look for comfort,
for self-indulgence, for pampering yourself
but make a difference, do the best, be your best.
No, you probably can’t of your own accord
but when you ask your Higher Power for help
not to make yourself look good but to do great things
that others may benefit, to be relieved of difficulties
not for your ease, your pleasure, your achievements
but for removal of my difficulties,
that victory over them may bear witness
to those I would help of Thy Power,
Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
Ask to over come character defects
that stand in the way of your usefulness
to your God and your fellow pilgrims.
Do all you can do and find out how it feels
to be supremely satisfied.
