March 23

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

Step Four suggests honesty with myself. Self-deception multiplies my problems and is an obstacle to the resolution of many of them. A searching and fearless inventory of my irrational behaviors and negative attitudes, like surgery for an inflamed appendix, is essential in my search for better emotional health. Self-justification may tempt me to explain away each fault as I uncover it. I may blame the shortcomings on others to excuse my own. On the other hand, lack of God-given humility may be clouding my appreciation and realization of my true value and worth. I have both weaknesses and strengths.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

Remind me that my strength grows day by day when I face myself as I am, and patiently correct whatever is keeping me from growing into the person I want to be.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

I will find serenity and stability only when I am honest with myself.
