~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.
