Daily Reflections

YESTERDAY'S BAGGAGE

For the wise have always known that no one can make much of his life
until self-searching
becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what
he finds, and until he
patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong.
12 & 12, p. 88

I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along
yesterday's baggage
too. I must balance today's books, if I am to have a chance
tomorrow. So I ask myself if
I have erred and how I can avoid repeating that particular behavior.
Did I hurt anyone,
did I help anyone, and why? Some of today is bound to spill over
into tomorrow, but most
of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.
