1) Daily Reflections
READINESS TO SERVE OTHERS..
. . . our Society has concluded that it has but one high mission–to
carry the A.A. message to those who don’t know there’s a way out.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 151
I ask God for the courage to live in such a way that the Fellowship
may be a testimony to His favor. This mission frees me to share my
gifts of wellness through a spirit of readiness to serve others….
2) Each Day a New Beginning
Being dissatisfied–discontented with the experiences life gives us – forever hampers our growth. Reality is not our bane but our gift. The particular reality perceived by any one of us is of special significance because in that reality are our lessons–the very lessons that will awaken us to the awareness that what life offers is just what we deserve, and more.
It’s our interpretation of life’s realities that is at fault. But as we grow, spiritually, the clouds will disappear. We’ll come to understand the interplay between our realities. And we’ll willingly move ahead, fulfilling our part in life’s bigger picture.
Sometimes all I can do is trust that all is well, even though it’s not as I had hoped. On bad days I need only to reflect on the past to know that I am moving in the right direction.
3)Daily Inspiration
To feel good about yourself, do things that really matter to you. Lord, help me to know my priorities and act in a manner that will fulfill them.
Loneliness happens when you build walls instead of bridges. Lord, bless me with a welcoming spirit for those that might need me today.
4) ”Character is defined by what we are willing to do when the spotlight is
turned off, when the applause has died down, and no one is around to
give us credit.”
