AA Thought for the Day

April 6, 2004

Surrender

There are a lot of people who don't like the weakness
that is implied in that word "surrender." . . .
People like to think they are strong characters
who can take care of their own destinies.
That is always fictitious thinking.
Everybody in this world is some kind of weakling,
and if he thinks he is not,
then pride is his weakness,
and that is the greatest weakness of all.

Thought to Ponder....

The ego seeks the destination;
the soul seeks the journey.
