AA Thought for the Day

July 5, 2004

Power-driver

I am a firm believer in both guidance and prayer.
But I am fully aware, and humble enough, I hope,
to see there may be nothing infallible
about my guidance.
The minute I figure I have got a perfectly clear
pipeline to God,
I have become egotistical enough
to get into real trouble.
Nobody can cause more needless grief
than a power-driver who thinks
he has got it straight from God.

Thought to Ponder....

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