"Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible. And if we cannot help others, at least we should try not to create pain and suffering for them."

-Dalai Lama

"We are not Human Beings having a Spiritual Experience...we are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience"

The past is unchangeable so it is futile to reflect on it unless you are making sure you do not repeat past mistakes. The future is but a result of your actions today. So learn from the past to do better in the present so that you can succeed in the future.

FOCUS ON THE JOURNEY

NOT THE DESTINATION. JOY IS FOUND

IN NOT FINISHING AN ACTIVITY,

BUT IN DOING IT.

DOUBT YOURSELF AND YOU DOUBT EVERYTHING YOU SEE

JUDGE YOURSELF AND YOU SEE JUDGES EVERYWHERE

BUT IF YOU LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN VOICE

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE DOUBT & JUDGMENT

AND YOU CAN SEE FOREVER!

• we're responsible for the effort not the outcome

• the person with the most sobriety at a meeting is the one who got up earliest that morning

• danger sign: when your eyes have wandered from the alcoholics who still suffers and needs help-----to the faults of those whom the program has already helped
