AA Thought for the Day

May 3, 2005

Pause

As we go through the day we pause,
when agitated or doubtful,
and ask for the right thought or action.
We constantly remind ourselves
we are no longer running the show,
humbly saying to ourselves
many times each day "Thy will be done."
We are then in much less danger of excitement,
fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions.
We become much more efficient.
We do not tire so easily,
for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we did
when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves.
