Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Anyone can blame: it takes a specialist to praise. — Konstantin Stanislavski
Are we blamers? We sure were blamers when we were using alcohol and other drugs. Then everything was someone’s fault. Some of us did our blaming out loud. And some of us blamed others silently.
It’s harder to praise than to blame people. Faults stand out like street signs, but the good things about people may be harder to see. We can see the good in people when we slow down, watch, and listen.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me pay attention to people around me. Help me praise them.
Action for the Day
Today I’ll list three people who mean a lot to me. I’ll write what I like about each of them. I’ll talk to them and tell them what I wrote.
