Today's thought from Hazelden is:
Life has lessons to teach. We can remember them and share them with others, or we can forget them and have to learn them again.
-- Jan Pishok
What we are destined to learn in this life will keep presenting itself until "contact" has been made. Each experience is a minute part of the big picture that's unfolding. We will receive the information we need, again and again if necessary. Let's give up our fear about where we are going and how we'll get there. We are in caring, capable hands. We will get to the right destination on time.
In this program we are invited to share with others what our experiences have taught us. What better way to recall, and thus relearn, what we have been taught, than to tell another about it. Every Twelve Step program is specifically designed to simplify our lives. The Steps coach us through every situation, and they never shame us for needing reminders of our lessons.
I will help others through sharing my own experiences today. In the process, I'll recapture the essence of the lessons I have learned.
