POPULARITY
“Few people are capable of expressing, with equanimity, opinions that differ from the prejudices of their social environment.”
~ Albert Einstein
Part of my growth in sobriety is learning to say “No.”
For years, I tried to please everybody with the result that I pleased very few and became exhausted in the process! I have learned that sometimes I need to be unpopular to remain serene and practice my spiritual program.
To understand the gift of God’s creation requires the acceptance that we are not the same and, as people, we will have different opinions and attitudes. Truth has many shades. To be unpopular at times is reality; truth is always real.
May I always say and do what I believe is right, regardless of public opinion.
