Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Reflection for the Day
Why don’t I spend part of today thinking about my assets rather than my liabilities? Why not think about victories instead of defeats — about the ways in which I am gentle and kind? It’s always been my tendency to fall into a sort of cynical self-hypnosis, putting derogatory labels on practically everything I’ve done, said, or felt. Just for today, I’ll spend a quiet half hour trying to gain a more positive perspective on my life.
Do I have the courage to change the things I can?
Today I Pray
Through quietness and a reassessment of myself, may I develop a more positive attitude. If I am part of something bigger than myself, created in the image of a Higher Power, there must be goodness in me. I will think about that goodness and the ways it manifests itself. I will stop putting myself down, even in my secret thoughts. I will respect what reflects my Higher Power. I will respect myself.
Today I Will Remember
Self-respect is respect for our Higher Power.
Hazelden Foundation
