Perceive Differently

"If you

change

the way

you look

at things,

the things

you look at

change."

~ Wayne Dyer

The benefit of doing the fourth step of the twelve steps

of AA is that we are given a chance to see ourselves differently.

We learn to see what part we had to play in our actions and how

much the alcoholic addiction had to do with making our decisions.

Stress, anxiety, fear and anger are but a few of the misguided

emotions we used to justify our behaviors, to enable alcohol

to control our lives.

The difference is kindness, love, patience and tolerance and a

dependence on a faith in a Higher Power to enjoy an emotionally

serene life that is beyond our wildest dreams.

Same life, same you, different perspective.

Happiness is learning to perceive differently.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
