Today's Gift
We all want to be loved. and no matter how much we're loved, we always want more.
How can we be lovable? What does the mean? Should we try to be perfect? Should we act cute and helpless? No, being lovable means that we act ourselves. We let others get to know us. When others love us, we enjoy it. We tell them. We let them know that their love isn't wasted on us, that it's important to us. We are lovable, and we are loved!
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me accept the love of others today. Help me be lovable.
Action for the Day: Today, I'll list all the little things others do that show that they care for me.
Sincere Attempt
Another great dividend we may expect from confiding our defects to
another human being is humility—a word often misunderstood.
To those who have made progress in A.A., it amounts to a clear
recognition of what and who we really are, followed by a sincere
attempt to become what we could be.

Tell yourself something good
Always think of what you have to do as easy and it will become so. —Emile Corie
How we think about the activities before us is very important. If we think cleaning the garage is hard, dirty, and no chance for fun, that's just how it will feel. We'll be tired before we even begin. However, if we approach it like a treasure hunt, expecting to rediscover some long-forgotten treasures, we'll enjoy the task. In fact, it will feel like a game.
The thoughts we carry in our minds determine whether our tasks are fun or not. What good fortune it is that we can control those thoughts. If we approach an assignment for school or a job believing that we're able to do it, that it's not too hard for us, we'll finish with ease. Our thoughts determine our successes. In this way, our lives are in our own hands.
How much better can I make my life today?

Tell yourself something good
by Ralph Marston
Tell yourself something good about yourself. Tell yourself something good about someone close to you.
Tell yourself something good about the day ahead. Tell yourself something good about life in this world, about the possibilities that extend out in front of you right now.
Tell yourself something good, and take it to heart. Remind yourself of the beauty, the wonder, of small actions that can make a big difference.
Tell yourself something good about this day, about how you can contribute to the way it unfolds. Tell yourself something good about this situation, about all you can do to make it even better.
Too often, the impressions that slide into your awareness are not especially helpful or nourishing. Choose to reverse that negative bias by telling yourself something good, something true, something wonderful.
Tell yourself about all you can do to give life more meaning, more substance, more joy. Tell yourself something good, and let that goodness come to life through you.
