DAILY REFLECTIONS for October 7th

DAILY MONITORING

Continued to take personal inventory. …
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Page 88

The spiritual axiom referred to in the Tenth Step – "every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us" – also tells me that there are no exceptions to it. No matter how unreasonable others may seem, I am responsible for not reacting negatively. Regardless of what is happening around me I will always have the prerogative, and the responsibility, of choosing what happens within me. I am the creator of my own reality. ¶ When I take my daily inventory, I know that I must stop judging others. If I judge others, I am probably judging myself. Whoever is upsetting me most is my best teacher. I have much to learn from him or her, and in my heart, I should thank that person.
