AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
September 22, 2014
Right Living
Service, gladly rendered, obligations squarely met, troubles well accepted or solved with God's help,
the knowledge that at home or in the world outside we are partners in a common effort,
the well-understood fact that in God's sight all human beings are important,
the proof that love freely given surely brings a full return,
the certainty that we are no longer isolated and alone in self-constructed prisons,
the surety that we need no longer be square pegs in round holes but can fit and belong in God's scheme of things --
these are the permanent and legitimate satisfactions of right living for which no amount of pomp and circumstance,
no heap of material possessions, could possibly be substitutes.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 124
