July 11 - Someone once defined the ego as "the sum total of false ideas
about myself." Persistent reworking of the Twelve Steps enables me
gradually to strip away my false ideas about myself. This permits
nearly imperceptible but steady growth in my understandings of the truth
about myself. And this, in turn, leads to a growing understanding of
God and other human beings.Do I strive for self-honesty, promptly admitting when I'm wrong?
Today I Pray - God, teach me understanding; teach me to know truth when I meet it; teach me the importance of self-honesty, so that I may be able to say, sincerely, "I was wrong," along with "I am sorry." Teach me that there is such a thing as a "healthy ego" which does not require that feelings be medicated by action highs. May I- slowly, on my tightrope - move toward the ideal of balance, so I can do away with the nets of falsehood and compulsion.
Today I Will Remember - To keep my balance.
