*December 15*
We’re all capable of possessing wisdom.
Twelve Step meetings seem to be a gathering place for the truly wise. We can’t be sure at first what it is these people have, but we know we want it too.
Attending meetings, reading Twelve Step literature, and choosing a sponsor who has a program we admire will change how we think and live daily. We’ll learn, as our sponsors have learned before us, to keep our focus on the little things we can improve. We’ll learn, as they have, to let go of others, letting God be in charge. We’ll learn, as they have, to live just for today. And then we’ll realize that we are beginning to have what these wise people have.
By following their example, we’ll begin to appear wise, peaceful, and hopeful to newcomers. All of us can attain this quality if we really want it.
Today’s Food for Thought:
Today I can be as wise as the ones I admire. I now have a blueprint to follow. I’ll start by keeping my focus small and my thinking simple.
