One Day At A Time Quotes ~ Self Love ~ 11/08/15
Permalink  

"Self-love can be the source of hostility and arrogance, a big ego around which everything

can revolve".  "It makes one unable to see anyones point of view but our own".  "It is the

mark of a mind which is closed to feeling for others". "Love of self, carries out the commandment: 

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself".  "We love others, and help them, only when we are at

peace with ourselves". "When we appreciate our own dignity and value as human beings, we are

have compassion for others".

Resolve to be thyself and know that he who finds himself loses his misery. ~ Matthew Arnold

I was going be sharing, going forward, the daily passages from the Al-Anon book "One Day At A Time

In Al-Anon,"   but it seems that there maybe a danger of plagiarism, I had hoped that quoting from

the ODAT would not be a problem, but I guess it is. 

Have a great day .... biggrin

Thanks Debbie for deciding to share on the ODAT reading each day. Please remember that WSO has not given us permission to break copyright laws and copy the page directly but must paraphrase or give a synopsis of the thoughts .

Love that Alanon is a program of self discovery not self improvement. I found when I stopped abandoning myself and acknowledged my needs and desires validated my opinions I found my HP and did not need others to validate me.

I love the new avatar also!!! I also miss the lovely smile though. Self-Love is so powerful and did not come easy for me.

Years spent self loathing were difficult to switch up....only through the grace of this program can I say that I not only love me today - I like me too!!

(((Hugs))) to all!
