AA Thought for the Day
April 17, 2006
Instincts
Our old attitudes toward our instincts
need to undergo drastic revisions.
Our desires for emotional security and wealth,
for personal prestige and power,
for romance, and for family satisfactions --
all these have to be tempered and redirected.
We have learned that the satisfaction of instincts
cannot be the sole end and aim of our lives.
If we place instincts first,
we have got the cart before the horse;
we will be pulled backward into disillusionment.
Thought to Ponder....
Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?
