November 12 Timing

Wait until the time is right. It is self-defeating to postpone or procrastinate; it is also self-defeating to act too soon, before the time is right.

Sometimes, we panic and take action out of fear. Sometimes, we take untimely action for revenge or because we want to punish someone. We act or speak too soon as a way to control or force someone to action. Sometimes, we take action too soon to relieve feelings of discomfort or anxiety about how a situation will turn out.

An action taken too soon can be as ineffective as one taken too late. It can backfire and cause more problems than it solves. Usually, when we wait until the time is right—sometimes only a matter of minutes or hours—the discomfort dissolves, and we’re empowered to accomplish what we need to do.

In recovery, we are learning to be effective.

Our answers will come. Our guidance will come. Pray. Trust. Wait. Let go. We are being led. We are being guided.

Today, I will let go of my need to control by waiting until the time is right. When the time is right, I will take action.

11月12日 时机

等待直到时机成熟，拖延或延误会弄巧成拙，而在时机尚未成熟之前就过早的采取行动也同样是一种自我挫败。

有时候，我们会因为害怕而惊慌失措；有时候，我们为了报复或惩罚某人而采取不合时宜的行动，作为一种控制或强迫某人行动的方式，我们急于行动或说话。有时候，我们也会过早地采取行动，从而减轻对形势发展的不安或焦虑，过早采取行动可能和错过行动时间一样无效，而且可能会适得其反，不但不能解决问题，而且会产生更多的问题。通常，当我们等到时机成熟——有时只是几分钟或几小时——那种不安就会消失，我们就有能力完成我们所需要做的。

在康复过程中，我们正学着如何产生果效。

所有的答案会临到我们，我们的引导也会显明。祈祷、相信、等待、放手，我们接受带领和引导。

今天，通过等待时机成熟的释放，我对我的控制欲放手。当时机成熟时，我就会采取行动。
