Today's thought from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Practicing tolerance
Everyone has a different opinion. No two people look the same. We all are different. Differences can cause us fear and set us apart from others, and we have no idea why.
If addiction closes us down, recovery opens us up. In the program, we learn that we are all more alike than we are different. We learn to look for what we share. We learn that we know so little about ourselves (let alone others) and that judgments are not helpful.
Can I live and let live?
Higher Power, help me to see myself in others.
