April 29

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

My happiness does not depend on anyone but me. It is not given to me by others, nor can I earn it from others. Whether I am happy or not is the result of my own attitude toward myself and toward shared experiences. I place a terrific burden upon others if I make them responsible for my happiness. In expecting too much from others, I alienate them and become frustrated and angry with myself and them. This can give me the feeling of loneliness while in the midst of a crowd.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

Help me to search inward sufficiently so I can be my own best friend.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

My happiness comes from a positive appreciation of myself.
