Daily Reflections

TWO "MAGNIFICENT STANDARDS"

All A.A. progress can be reckoned in terms of just two
words:
humility and responsibility. Our whole spiritual development
can be accurately measured by our degree of adherence to
these
magnificent standards.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 271

To acknowledge and respect the views, accomplishments and
prerogatives of others and to accept being wrong shows me
the way of humility. To practice the principles of A.A. in
all my affairs guides me to be responsible. Honoring these
precepts gives credence to Tradition Four--and to all other
Traditions of the Fellowship. Alcoholics Anonymous has
evolved
a philosophy of life full of valid motivations, rich in
highly
relevant principles and ethical values, a view of life which
can be extended beyond the confines of the alcoholic
population.
To honor these precepts I need only to pray, and care for my
fellow man as if each one were my brother.
