The more we give of anything, the more we shall get back. ~Grace Speare When we first hear this advice, it doesn’t seem to make sense. How can we get more of something by giving it away? Yet we hear the same advice in Step Twelve of our recovery program: we must "Give it away" in order to keep it. What does this mean? Maybe it means that when we pay attention to living in this way, we change our whole value system and our behavior. For example, we can choose to lay our anger and whining on others, but that doesn't really get rid of it. In fact, we find that people tend to join in our negative behavior and feed it. We end up with more. But if we give to others the feelings we really want to keep - understanding, honesty, kindness, patience, and humor - they will share their good stuff with us, too. And that helps us stay sober. Prayer for the Day Higher Power, help me share the important things today - the things I want more of. Today's Action Today I will be aware of what I am giving others with my behavior. If I need to share negative comments or ideas, I will balance each one with five positives. I'm making life better for others and for myself, too. Today's reading is from the book God Grant Me: More Daily Meditations from the Authors of Keep It Simple*
