Daily Reflection


OCTOBER 10
FIXING ME, NOT YOU
If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are in the wrong
also.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 90
What a freedom I felt when this passage was pointed out to
me! Suddenly I saw that I could do something about my
anger, I could fix me, instead of trying to fix them. I
believe that there are no exceptions to the axiom. When I
am angry, my anger is always self-centered. I must keep
reminding myself that I am human, that I am doing the best
I can, even when that best is sometimes poor. So I ask God
to remove my anger and truly set me free.
