Fri. For Today

I posted this early this morning and it never got posted. Hmmmm... Well better late than never. November 18th, If you want to understand others, look into your own heart. Johann Schiller If I have no understanding of what makes me think and act as I do, then I can have little understanding of other people's behavior. If I do not admit anger, fear, hate and other emotions and steadfastly ignore the reasons for these feelings how can I maintian balanced relationships with spouse, friend, parent or child - all of whom have similar feelings? People who practice the twelve-step program seldom say, "I'll never understand So-and-So." Having looked into their own hearts, they understand why other people behave as they do. For today: If people's actions continue to surprise me, it's time to do another fourth-step inventory. Fourth Step: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
