“And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone…” – AA pg.84
Thinking “I know best” has gotten me into a world of trouble. In fact, from time to time, it still does. This righteousness and need to let others in on my vast source of knowledge closes the door on an abundance of gifts and evolution that awaits me. But when I surrender my know-it-all-ism long enough to consider the words and opinions of others, and even try them on for size, I allow my world to expand with infinite opportunities. As with God, the moment that my desire to have a higher power in my life became greater than my insistence that God did not exist, I felt the overwhelming presence of God in my life. So today I’ll stop trying to know, control, manage, judge and direct. Instead I’ll make it a day of growth and learning. By opening myself to the ideas of others, I become enriched and ILML!
