REFLECTION FOR TODAY
We are not here to judge each other, but to accept each other. God is our only judge and so much kinder to us than we are to ourselves. Many times in the past we judged others. But were we equipped to make these judgments? Do we know what brought another to take a certain action? We judge others because we are so harsh with ourselves. The more we can accept our own failures and weaknesses, the more likely we will cease to judge others.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I realize that if I am judging another, it is only a sign of my own self-rejection.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
As I begin to talk kindly to myself, I will experience an inner peace and calmness. It will show in how I treat others.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Too often I let external things distract me when someone is speaking at a meeting. Maybe dirty fingernails, a wrong color of lipstick, or length of hair or beard will affect my concentration. Maybe a person's poor grammar will have me making corrections in my mind instead of listening to the thoughts and feelings being expressed. Often when I really listen I really learn. I know my Higher Power works through people, and if I don't hear people, I won't hear God either. My progress in my recovery depends on learning from other people. I have no right to be critical or judgmental of others.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Open my mind to the shared suggestions of others. Remind me that externals are not important.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I am no better or worse than anyone else.
