DAILY RESOLUTIONS
The idea of "twenty-four-hour living" applies primarily to the emotional life of the individual. Emotionally speaking, we must not live in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.
— AS BILL SEES IT, p. 284
A New Year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes — a time to consider directions, goals, and actions. I must make some plans to live a normal life, but also I must live emotionally within a twenty-four-hour frame, for if I do, I don't have to make New Year's resolutions! I can make every day a New Year's day! I can decide, "Today I will do this . . . Today I will do that." Each day I can measure my life by trying to do a little better, by deciding to follow God's will and by making an effort to put the principles of our A.A. program into action.

~embolding is mine~
Sages create but do not possess what they create.
They act but do not depend on what they do.
They succeed but do not claim success.
These all result from selflessness.
Because sages are selfless, they do not lose themselves.
Because they do not lose themselves, they do not lose others.
- Wang An-shih (1021-1086)
-Removed-the thing that drives yer question here
that desire to know, even as you already know
that thing has changed in you, from whenever time as when i did not notice this about the way you are
the fact i did not notice is what pains me hurts me confuses me angers me
i've changed a bit too
folks standing outside my cranium can see it the most, and with better detail, than i can from inside my lil bony prison
does this help?
hope so
