Self Respect Prayer Lord, Thank You for giving me the richest gift of all: You taught me to respect myself. I have the ability to say “no” to the toxic people in my life. I am now able to surround myself with only those who share authentic love through word and deed. I can grow to my full potential. Amen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought I have lost much of my inferiority complex. I was always trying to escape from life. I did not want to face reality. I was full of self-pity. I was constantly sorry for myself. I tried to avoid all responsibilities. I did not feel that I would handle the responsibilities of my family or my work. Owing to my inferiority complex, I was eager to be free of all responsibilities. I wanted to drift; I wanted to be "on the beach." A.A. showed me how to get over my feeling of inferiority. It made me want to accept responsibility again. So ............ Have I lost my inferiority complex? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Our Imaginations We use our imaginations to plan how we're going to build a model car or plane, rearrange the furniture in our rooms, even dress for a special party. The imagination is like a big piece of drawing paper on which we sketch the way we want something to look. When we don't know just how to begin a task, the imagination gets us started. It's like having the directions for playing a new game. Dreams about the future, where we want to go, the jobs we want to have, are made more real when we "draw" them in our minds. The imagination gives us courage, too. Yes, I do have the courage today, to imagine a better me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rebellion Rebellion dogs our every step at first. When we have finally admitted we are powerless over alcohol, we are apt to breathe a great sigh of relief, saying, "Well, thank God that's over! I'll never have to go through that again!" Then we learn, often to our consternation, that this is only the first milestone on the new road we are walking. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 73 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Quote “Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life — is the source from which self-respect springs.” ~ Joan Didion
