Setting Favorable Conditions for Procovery # 2

2) Recognize the power of the individual. As William Anthony, Ph.D., has said, "recovery can be facilitated by any one person." Because procovery can be initiated or contributed to by any individual, at any time, procovery is most easily reached in a climate that fosters individual initiative—whether that of consumer, family, or staff.

If you look closely, the world speaks to you in voluminous whispers. The secret is to observe, and to be present to the moment.
Life is caught quite unawares by the ability to focus and to pay attention.
What can you find today that is beautiful, and worth giving up one day of your life for????

A motivational poster I made. I think our focus as a country and a world should be on the causes of world distress. . . and not so much on fruits of that distress.

Another day, another opportunity to find delight in life. Yes, I know what it feels like to be so depressed that nothing seems inviting, interesting, or involving. That's where WILL comes in. . and FRIENDSHIP. You've helped people when they were down. . cash in a few "chips" and ask them to visit, or go fo a walk, or visit the botanical garden. Life IS wonderful, you've GOT to try and see it.
