Tues. For Today

November 15th, Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. Thomas a Kempis It is only through the help of this program, and continuously working at letting go and letting God that I can detach myself from the problems of those I love. I can best help my mate, my children, my parents and my dear friends by loving them as they are. It is when I stop trying to make others be what I think they should be that they begin coming closer to their true potential. This is because, in accepting them as they are, I am clearly changing myself and acting only to fulfill my own highest potential. For today: The infuluence I have on others by practicing the principles of the program in my everyday life is far more effective than anything I can do or say to change them.
