Being responsible and accountable are notable qualities. But demanding too much responsibility, accountability and efficiency of ourselves puts us on an activity treadmill that steals our peace of mind. When we try to manage everything, we soon feel overwhelmed, and our self-esteem plummets. Getting well in this program means discovering that we don’t have to do anything to be okay. We don’t have to be good managers to be worthy. Taking responsibility for our actions is still necessary, but our Higher Power loves us regardless of how much we get done today. Our only real “assignment” is to love and be thoughtful of other people all day long. If I can manage my actions toward others today, I will have done enough. That assignment I can handle. Today's reading is from the book A Life of My Own: Meditations on Hope and Acceptance* __________________ "No matter what you have done up to this moment, you get 24 brand-new hours to spend every single day." --Brian Tracy AA gives us an opportunity to recreate ourselves, with God's help, one day at a time. --Rufus K. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. --Franklin D. Roosevelt We stay sober and clean together - one day at a time! God says that each of us is worth loving.
