REASON
For here we are not afraid to follow wherever it may lead, or to tolerate error so long as reason is free to combat it.”
~ Thomas Jefferson ~
As an alcoholic, I was often afraid to challenge the thinking and ideas of other people. My people-pleasing demanded peace at any price. Yet I did not agree with so much of what I heard, read, and practiced. Now I see that my attitude and behavior—along with my alcohol consumption—kept me sick.
In my spiritual program, I am free to reject, consider, and have my own opinions in life. I do not have to agree with everything that is said. In this way, I am discovering my value and self-esteem.
Lord, I am grateful for the freedom to cooperate.
