DailyBFO 10/25/17 Acceptance
Recently, a friend just completed a 12 step program at Watermark and thought it is not the same as the famous 12 Steps of AA it is similar. It got me thinking again of change. The Serenity Prayer that is used in AA states: God grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Acceptance sounds easy as a word but seems to be sometimes a difficult task for me and my ego. I am opinionated and as such seem to want to argue no matter what the subject even if we agree. I cannot change this core piece of me but I can improve my response or reply. For my wife's Sanity may God grant me this improvement. It just takes me a moment to think about someone else rather than it being about me. I need to "Let go of my ego!" and I don't mean the waffle.
Help me please. If I am ever involved in a conversation with you please call me on this behavior and help hold me accountable as I want to improve this and need your help.
Wishing you a Blissfully Healthy Day,
Tom
