Feeling apart from the action and always looking on; wanting attention, and yet afraid of being noticed; no doubt these are familiar memories to most of us. We may still struggle with our self-perception, but we can celebrate that we no longer drown our moods. Connecting with the people next to us, though difficult, is no longer impossible when we rely on the program.
There
is a way to be a part of the action, a way that never fails. It takes
only a small effort, really. We can simply look, with love, at someone
nearby today and extend our hearts in honest attention. When we make
someone else feel special, we'll become special too.
Recovery
can help each of us move beyond the boundaries of our own ego. Trusting
that our lives are in the loving care of God, however we understand
God, relieves us of the need for self-centeredness. We can let go of
ourselves now that God is in charge, and we'll discover that we have
joined the action.
I will open my heart, and I'll be joined to all that's around me.
