Thoughts For The Day~*~ Ambition " . . . the certainty that we are no longer isolated in self-constructed prisons, the surety that we need no longer be square pegs in round holes but can fit and belong in God's scheme of things - these are the permanent and legitimate satisfactions of right living for which no amount of pomp and circumstance, no heap of material possessions, could possibly be substitutes. True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God." 1953AAWS, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, pp. 124-5 Thought to Consider . . . The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* F I T = Faith, Intuition, and Trust*~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Small Miracles From: "A Late Start" Small miracles keep offering new opportunities just when I need change and growth. New friends have shown me hidden truths in those sayings that I once found so shallow. The lessons of tolerance and acceptance have taught me to look beyond exterior appearances to find the help and wisdom so often lurking beneath the surface. All my sobriety and growth, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, are dependent upon my willingness to listen, understand, and change. 2001, AAWS, Inc., Alcoholics Anonymous, page 542*~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "A large part of my recovery has been in learning how not to listen to myself." Tucson, Arizona, March 1988 "The Work at Hand," Emotional Sobriety*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "We are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, There Is A Solution, pg. 17~ "Now and then the family will be plagued by spectres from the past, for the drinking career of almost every alcoholic has been marked by escapades, funny, humiliating, shameful or tragic. The first impulse will be to bury these skeletons in a dark closet and padlock the door. The family may be possessed by the idea that future happiness can be based only upon forgetfulness of the past. We think that such a view is self-centered and in direct conflict with the new way of living." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 123~ “If he is to find God, the desire must come from within.” -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 95 “Calm, thoughtful reflection upon personal relations can deepen our insight.” -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 80Misc. AA Literature - Quote Since most of us are born with an abundance of natural desires, it isn't strange that we often let these far exceed their intended purpose. When they drive us blindly, or we willfully demand that they supply us with more satisfactions or pleasures than are possible or due us, that is the point at which we depart from the degree of perfection that God wishes for us here on earth. That is the measure of our character defects, or, if you wish, of our sins. If we ask, God will certainly forgive our derelictions. But in no case does He render us white as snow and keep us that way without our cooperation. That is something we are supposed to be willing to work toward ourselves. He asks only that we try as best we know how to make progress in the building of character. Prayer for the Day: "Higher Power, help me live in accordance with spiritual principles.
