Twenty-Four Hours a Day *~*~*~*^TwentyFourHoursDay^*~*~*~*
A.A. Thought for the Day
If we allow an alcoholic thought to lodge in our minds for any length of time, we are in danger of having a slip. Therefore we must dispel such thoughts at once, by refusing their admittance and by immediately putting constructive thoughts in their place. Remember that alcohol is poison to you. Remember that it is impossible for you to drink normally. Remember that one drink will lead to others and you will eventually be drunk. Remember what happened to you in the past as a result of your drinking. Think of every reason you have learned in A.A. for not taking that drink. Fill your mind with constructive thoughts. Am I keeping my thoughts constructive?
Meditation for the Day
Always seek to set aside the valuations of the world that seem wrong and try to judge only by those valuations that seem right to you. Do not seek the praise and notice of the world. Be one of those who, though sometimes scoffed at, have a serenity and peace of mind that the scoffers never know. Be one of that band who feel the Divine Principle in the universe, though He be often rejected because He cannot be seen.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may not heed too much the judgment of the world. I pray that I may test things by what seems right to me.

My first reaction honestly was, ugh another slip reading?? But that is my false pride at work there. Because I have "slipped" more times than I would like to admit.
Great read, thx.

I have to keep in mind that thoughts, however way they be, are just thoughts. I cannot control them as I can the clouds. It's my reaction to the thoughts that I can control. When I find myself thinking unfit thoughts, I let it alight for a moment, then let it go on it's merry way.
