 *DAILY REFLECTIONS* 

1)At the moment we are trying to put our lives in order. But this is not an end in itself.

-ALCOHOLIC ANONYMOUS

I become willing to make amends, knowing that through this process I am mended and made fit to move forward, to know and desire God’s will for me.

2)Nobody ever died of laughter.”

– Max Beerbohm

I knew that I was growing in self-esteem and confidence when I was able to laugh, express that “belly” laugh that proclaims that I am glad to be alive.

So many religious people are too serious. They seem to think that God disapproves of laughter and yet it seems the most natural emotion in the world. Sobriety is a statement that the pain is being overcome and the hope that is experienced will necessarily release laughter.

God created the world for fun. Find the key to life and enjoy it.” Spirituality is that key.

3)When I begin to compare my life with the lives of others, I’ve begun to move toward the edge of the murky swamp of self-pity. On the other hand, if I feel that what I’m doing is right and good, I won’t be so dependent on the admiration or approval of others. Applause is well and good, but it’s not essential to my inner contentment. I’m in The Program to get rid of self-pity, not to increase its power to destroy me. Am I learning how others have dealt with their problems so I can apply these lessons to my own life?

4) Courage is fear in action. ( or Courage is fear that has said it’s prayers ) – Anon.
