AA Thought for the Day

October 14, 2002

Acceptance

I think today that my job really is to enjoy life,
whether I like it or not.
I don't like everything I have to accept.
In fact, if everything was to my specifications and desires
there would be no problem with acceptance.
It's accepting things I don't like that is difficult.
It's accepting when I'm not getting my own way.
Yes, I find it very difficult at times.
- Dr. Paul O, Box 1980: The AA Grapevine, July 1995.

Thought to Ponder....

My serenity is directly proportional
to my level of acceptance.
