AA Thought for the Day

Growing Pains

Finally, we begin to see that all people, including ourselves,
are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong,
and then we approach true tolerance
and see what real love for our fellows actually means.
It will become more and more evident as we go forward
that it is pointless to become angry, or to get hurt by people who, like us,
are suffering from the pains of growing up.

Thought to Ponder....

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional,
growing spiritually is up to you.
