When we are all wrapped up in ourselves, we present a very small package to others.
~ Georgette Vickstrom ~
Self-centeredness affects many people, not just recovering women. In this program, we are honing the skills that can free us from its clutches. Being willing to use these skills is the hallmark of our recovery.
Everybody on our path today needs our attention. Each person we meet may have something to teach us, or perhaps the reverse is true. But if we are focused on ourselves we’ll miss these opportunities. Being open to other people helps us grow. If our attention is forever inward, we’ll never grow beyond our current limited understanding.
Let’s be willing to give more of ourselves to others today. The benefits we’ll reap will move us forward in our personal journey.
Today I can put aside my tendency to look at every circumstance in relationship to myself. With God’s help, I can put my attention on others.
