*March 10*
We can’t get away with blaming other people anymore.
Every day, we find ourselves in situations that could lead to conflict. How we handle them—especially our thoughts—can either calm things down or make them worse. The good news? We have control over our thoughts.
And that’s a big deal because not many things in life come with that kind of certainty. Our thoughts shape everything—from how we see ourselves to how we treat others. The way we think about the people we interact with affects how we treat them, which in turn, influences how they respond to us. The same goes for our goals and careers. If we believe in our strengths and see opportunities, we’re more likely to chase them. And when we set realistic expectations for ourselves and others (without expecting perfection), we create space for growth and success.

Today’s Affirmation:
I want to take responsibility for my thoughts. Blaming others became an easy habit, but it never did me any favors. I will be careful about what my mind cultivates today.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. She has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her recovery from addiction started in Twelve-Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
