My ideals are part of my reality.
My ideals are an intrinsic part of my humaness. I do not choose whether to have ideals or not, just as I do not choose whether I am human or not. Rather, I choose ideals that reflect my personal values.
When I expressed lofty dreams and goals as a child, various adults in my life said, "you're young and idealistic, wait till you grow up". If growing up meant sacrificing my personal dreams or my desire for justice in the world, I did not want to grow up.
Today I announce the good news to my inner child: I will never lose my idealism. Idealism is a part of being human and being human is a part of reality.
Throughtout my recovery and matruity, I will committ to identifying ideals that reflect my desires and values, I will seek out groups and organizations that effectively translate ideals into action. Through word and deed, I will fulfill my ideas.
