The longer I am in the Program and the longer i try to practice its principles-in all my affairs, the less frequently I become morose and depressed. Perhaps, too, there's something to that cynical old saying , " Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed." If such a person is in the program , he or she shall not be disappointed, but instead will be delighted daily by new and fresh evidence of the love of God and the friendliness of men and woman. Does someone, somewhere, need me today? Will I look for that person and try to share what I've been given-in the program?

I find this to be very, useful as well as being able, to help in opening doors for people like myself, who have felt they have nothing to offer.

Wow- this is really good reading this morning. When I first began the program of AA, I thought I had nothing to offer anyone. My self esteem was quite low for different reasons... I am learning to live without expectation of others with the way they live and behave. All I have to do is uphold my spiritual belief system along with AA principles and keep my word. Living runs so much more smoothly and I have found myself available to others now by living openly and honestly. If God wishes to use me to help someone and offer a comforting hand and heart, I am readily here and thankful for the opportunity.

It is truely a privilage to help others. The gift is to expect nothing in return.

If mankind could all learn to just pass it forward what a wonderful world we would live in.

I agree DT, this is a gem. No expectations, a lot of acceptance, and a lot of peace and joy. xxx
