12 Step Reader - Thoughts Prayers and Meditations
12 Step Reader Thoughts Prayers and Meditations Author:Tom M. I have come by the contents of this collection over the years as friends have shared their thoughts with me. I have picked some ideas up from lecturers I have heard, books I have read. I have written them in my daily reader or tucked them between the covers and have enjoyed reading them through hundreds of times. The result is a dog-eared colle... more »ction and a bulging daily reader whose binding is giving way. This led me to transcribing them into a volume for my own use of which this is the result. Once completed, it seemed to make sense to share it. To me a 12 step life has at its core acceptance and gratitude. In adopting this life I have found a way to understand the concept of spirituality, of being responsible for the effort rather than the outcome, and the need to do the next right thing in my personal as well as my work life; to forgive quickly and apologize sooner as I have discovered that anger and resentment hurt me more than anyone else. This collection of thoughts, prayers and meditations reminds me of these things each day. I hope what is captured here can be useful to you as well. For those who are curious about a 12 step life there is an essay ?A Way of Living, a letter to my sons? which offers one perspective. This Reader is designed to be opened each day and a selection or two read during a quiet time. It is to be scribbled in and added to. It is not an instruction manual or program in and of itself but does hope to provoke thoughts on how you are living your life, day by day. I hope you can find some of the peace and understanding I have found in its pages. Tom M.« less
