November 13 - All progress can be boiled down and measured by just two word: humility and responsibility. It's said that our entire spiritual development can be precisely measured by our degree of adherence to those standards. Only by abandoning my self-centeredness and maintaining contact with a Higher Power can I achieve true humility. Only by regaining contact with reality can I develop responsibility.
Am I trying my honest best to live my standards of humility and responsibility?
Today I Pray - I pray that of all the good words and catch phrases and wisps of inspiration that come to me, I will remember these two above all: humility and responsibility. These may be the hardest to come by - humility because it means shooing away my pride, responsibility because I am in the habit of using my gambling addiction as a thin excuse for getting out of obligations. I pray that I may break these old patters.
Today I Will Remember - First humility, then responsibility.
