Our very first problem
is to accept our present circumstances as they are,
ourselves as we are,
and the people about us as they are.
This is to adopt a realistic humility
without which no genuine advance can even begin.
Again and again, we shall need to return
to that unflattering point of departure.
This is an exercise in acceptance
that we can profitably practice
every day of our lives.
- Bill W., Grapevine, March 1962.
