IDEALS
“An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.”
— H.L. Mencken
The spiritual program teaches me to be an idealist with my feet on the ground. People will continue to hurt, get angry and tell lies; wrestling with imperfections is not just my problem. I need to accept that I live in an imperfect world and recovery involves reality, not illusion.
My responsibility in recovery is for my life. I cannot change other people, events or relationships — I can only change me. I am not God. Each time I forget this fact, I risk another hurt.
Help me to aspire for ideals that are within my grasp.
