1. When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.-ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 86
2. FALSE PRIDE, p. 285The alarming thing about pride-blindness is the ease with which it is justified. But we need not look far to see that self-justification is a universal destroyer of harmony and of love. It sets man against man, nation against nation. By it, every form of folly and violence can be made to look right, and even respectable. ~As Bill Sees It
3. When we share our experience, strength, and hope with others, we become both teachers and friends.
Our sharing of personal experience may be just what another person needs at the time. What also matters is that we need it and can benefit from it.
True sharing of this kind is one of the great secrets of AA’s success. If our program isn’t working well, perhaps we should do more of this sharing.I’ll seek to share my true feelings with others today, in the hope that this will help all of us.
~Walk In Dry Places
4. “I am one individual on a small planet in a little solar system in one of the galaxies.”– Roberto Assagioli
Spirituality develops a humility that is realistic. Realism teaches me that I am one among many. That does not mean that I am less than anybody else, but it certainly doesn’t mean that I am above others.
Humility is treating people with the respect we would want, giving people the freedom we require in our life. Humility is perceiving our God-given talent and individuality.
I pray that I will remember that I am a “part of”, rather than the sum total of this universe.
