Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Society …as a rule …forbids any move which might bring human beings closer to each other. — Jacques Lusseyran
Perhaps we’ve learned that we cannot fix others and have resolved to let go of our codependency, keeping the focus on what we can do to heal our own lives. In the process, we may have forgotten that who we are and what we do touches the lives of others. Detachment doesn’t mean cutting ourselves off from the rest of the human family. It doesn’t mean forgetting that love is an active verb.
We can acknowledge the impact of past actions on others and make amends where appropriate. We may have experience, strength, and hope to offer. By accepting the things we cannot change, we can offer compassion and moral support to the sick or to those seeking to transform their lives.
Today, I take responsibility for my actions toward others. I serve others with love and humility.
Hazelden Foundation
