Thought for Today: To Live for a greater purpose than myself

LOL
i am very self centered, so this is a great reminder.  I am where I am supposed to be for SOMEONE ELSE.  no room for self righteousness for doing the right thing....
sheesh!
talk about a new way of living.  but it is possible, my HP is here to help me see the greater good outside and inside.  like, it's an inside job, dude. when the inside changes the outside does, too.

I have noticed lately how self centered I really am and it is driving me crazy. I notice that when my daughter calls i start right in on whats going on with ME. Someone talkes to me and I tell them my situtation and how I dealt with it. I humbly ask God to remove these character defects! I am grateful for AA, that thru the steps I have learned about these character defects, and work on them one day at a time! Thanks for posting jj. See.....I started talking about ME.....ok im working on it!

Great thought for the day. I struggle with this on and off all the time - selfishness, self-centeredness. I used to have a little ritual when I was struggling with a job years ago, and every day when I opened the door to the building I would pray that I be helpful to someone there today, in the way they needed help. It was such a simple, quick thing to do and doing it every day really helped. I should start doing it again now! Thanks!
