~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME

02-03 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program enables us to discover two roadblocks that keep us from seeing the value and comfort of the spiritual approach:  self-justification and self-righteousness.  The first grimly assures me that I'm always right.  The second mistakenly comforts me with the delusion that I'm better than other people -- "holier than thou."  JUST FOR TODAY, WILL I PAUSE ABRUPTLY WHILE RATIONALIZING AND ASK MYSELF, "WHY AM I DOING THIS?  IS THIS SELF-JUSTIFICATION REALLY HONEST?"

TODAY I PRAY
May I overcome the need to be "always right"  and know the cleansing feeling of release that comes with admittin, openly, a mistake.  May I be wary of setting myself up as an example of self-control and fortitude, and give credit where it is due -- to a Higher Power.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
To err is human, but I need to admit it.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.  ~Ursula K. LeGuin
