Interestingly, a lot of the things I read daily for inspiration often follow the same theme. For instance:

Daily Reflections
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Above all, take it one day at a time. AS BILL SEES IT, p.11
Why do I kid myself that I must stay away from a drink for only one day, when I know perfectly well I must never drink again as long as I live? I am not kidding myself because one day at a time is probably the only way I can reach the long-range objective of staying sober. If I determine that I shall never drink again as long as I live, I set myself up. How can I be sure I won't drink when I have no idea what the future may hold? On a day-at-a-time basis, I am confident I can stay away from a drink for one day. So I set out with confidence. At the end of the day, I have the reward of achievement. Achievement feels good and that makes me want more!"
note: It seems that all of the spiritual principals that work are timeless and universal.
