*DAILY REFLECTIONS*
1. Can we bring the same spirit of love and tolerance into our sometimes deranged family lives that we bring to our A.A. group?
-TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS , pp. 111 -112
*Twenty-Four Hours A Day*
2 .We who have accepted the A.A. principles have been faced with the necessity for a thorough personal housecleaning. We must face and be rid of the things in ourselves that have been blocking us. We therefore take a personal inventory. We take stock honestly. We search out the flaws in our make-up that caused our failure. Resentment is the number one offender. Life that includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness. If we are to live, we must be free of anger.” Am I free of resentment and anger?
*QUOTE – Marianne Williamson.*
3. What is not love is fear. Anger is one of fear’s most potent faces. And it does exactly what fear wants it to do. It keeps us from receiving love at exactly the moment when we need it most.
*KEEP IT SIMPLE*
4. Where there is no vision, a people perish.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn to look at who we really are. At first, we’re scared to see ourselves. But it turns out okay, even though we’re not perfect.
We also begin to see others more clearly. We see good in people we don’t like. And we see faults in people we thought we’re prefect. But we don’t judge people anymore. Nobody is perfect. Just as our program friends accept us as we are, we learn to accept others.
