DAILY REFLECTIONS 

1) But does trust require that we be blind to other people’s motives or, indeed, to our own? Not at all; this would be folly. Most certainly, we should assess the capacity for harm as well as the capability for good in every person that we would trust. Such a private inventory can reveal the degree of confidence we should extend in any given situation.

2) “Soon my life started getting better. I began to find hope. the secrets I had buried deep inside were no longer wounds to drink over, but became stepping stones to healing. I would have never received the miracle of AA if it had been forced upon me. Stubborn defiance would have kept me out of the rooms. It was attraction, not promotion, that worked for me.”

3) AA has taught me that I will have peace of mind in exact proportion to the peace of mind I bring into the lives of other people. For the only problems I have now are those I create when I break out in a rash of self-will. 

FATHER LEO’S DAILY MEDITATION 4)Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”

–Elbert Hubbard

When I used to take life too seriously, I was always miserable. I missed so much. I placed a disproportionate amount of energy on my own importance. I am not saying that I am not important, but I must learn to live within the structures of this imperfect world. For so long I made myself the “victim” of this world. Everybody was expected to revolve around my world and I felt the world owed me a living! The result: unhappiness. needed to change or remain unhappy. Today I am learning to change and I am working on patience.
