Because I have been athirst I will dig a well that others may drink.
~Arabian Saying

Most of us do as we please. When we want to go, we go; when we want to stay, we stay. We're accustomed to moving around freely and never even think about it. We trust that a door will open if we turn the k**b and push. Unfortunately, we never appreciate what we take for granted, and we are less for that.

A young man at an adult child meeting shared that he had just been released from prison, where doors are locked. After his release, the first thing he had done, he said, was to walk back and forth across the pressure plate of the bus station door. He wanted to be the one to make a door open and close. Onlookers had laughed at him, he said, but he didn't care. He appreciated the chance to move, to go where he wanted. Having known the hell of doors that won't open, he had an awareness that the rest of us didn't have. As his recovery continues, he will have much to share with people who've been trapped in prisons of their own.

May I have the insight to recognize my own special qualifications, and the willingness to share them with others.

I need to be continually gathered back into the fold.
~David Crawford

Step Ten suggests that we take a daily inventory of ourselves, continuing in the spirit of Step Four's searching and fearless review of our past.

We can take a few moments at any time during the day or evening for quiet reflection and review of the past twenty-four hours. We can list all that we're grateful for. Scanning our contacts with others, we can ask ourselves whether we've kept open the channels of truthful and caring communication.

If there is something we wish we had done differently, rather than criticize or punish ourselves we can decide to remedy the situation at the earliest opportunity, admitting any mistakes and changing our behavior. If there are positive actions we've taken during the day - or actions we've wisely refrained from taking - we can acknowledge our progress. No inventory lists only deficits.

Let's also take a fresh look at our relationship with ourselves and ask whether we're treating ourselves with sensitivity and respect. Let's remember, too, to honor our relationship to Spirit and ask for help in cherishing the life force flowing through us.

Today, I review my actions in a spirit of gentleness and with faith in the possibility of progress.

It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
~Peter De Vries

Sometimes we get so tangled up in beliefs, concepts, and definitions that we have no choice but to sit back and have a good laugh at ourselves. If we don't at least occasionally find ourselves a little silly, we're in trouble. Our search for enlightenment and fulfillment, noble as it may seem, might actually come down to one thing - self-centeredness.

It's all well and good to seek spiritual truths, but many of us are looking in the wrong places. Do we know someone who could use a helping hand? Is a friend in trouble? Are we doing something to brighten someone's day? Our faith is empty if we put concern for our own soul before the needs of another.

When we overlook what we can do for our fellow travelers, we are missing the whole point. If we are busy being helpful, we don't need to worry about searching for God.

I don't need to look any further than the next person I can help.

Pause

I've learned the importance of pausing. I need to pause - especially when I'm unsure about something. I've learned that I'm an extrovert, and my tendency is to just talk, talk, talk. When I'm uncomfortable, I talk.

Back when I was drinking, alcohol filled that gap for me. Now I know to pause and be quiet and just listen. It's so impactful.

I'm at the point in my current job where I'll have all these people - the pharmacist, the doctor, and the research team - coming at me at once. There are days when I'm literally so quiet, because there's not enough time to react to what they're saying to me. They ask me, "Did you hear that?" I'm like, "Oh, yes I heard it. I'm just listening to you, and I'll revisit this in an hour after I've had a chance to look into it."

For me, that is a miracle. Really. Because when you're in the military, everything is quick, snap - right then and there. We have so much coming at us all the time.

For me, meditation has become crucial. I just need to pause and really listen to the universe.

Today I will pause instead of reacting right away.

Accepting our Higher Power's love

Our Higher Power's love is so encompassing and powerful that we cannot understand it. Doubtless, many have turned away from our fellowship because they could not accept such love. Why would I deserve such love? Where would it come from?

Maybe these words were once ours, but as we apply our newfound principles we come to understand love, not in our intellect, but in our being. It is through the love and grace of our Higher Power that we have gained so much.

Am I accepting that love?

Higher Power, may I come to know the influence of your love, helping me day by day, hour by hour.

Today I will see my Higher Power's love in...

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
~Mahatma Gandhi

There's a lot wrong in the world - just check the headlines. Our old way of dealing with these troubles was to rant about them, or ignore them, or numb our minds with substances.

Now we have a new way to change the world. We're changing ourselves. One day at a time, we're acting like the caring, responsible people we want to be. We use the ideas of the program in our lives.

We're kinder. We're more honest. We stand up for ourselves and for others who need our help. What if the whole world started working the Steps? What a wonderful world this would be!

Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, please work through me today. Help me make the world a little better place.

Action for the Day
I'll list one thing that bothers me about the world today. How can using the ideas of the program help solve that problem? Remember, the program tells us to look at our own behavior.
