I know who I am. I know what I believe. All I need do is act accordingly. 12 Step
L REALIZED A LONG TIME AGO THAT A BELIEF WHICH DOES NOT SPRING FROM A CONVICTION IN THE EMOTIONS IS NO BELIEF AT ALL.~EVELYN SCOTT
From pillar to post we bounced, most of us not knowing what we actually believed about nearly any situation before getting to this program. Perhaps we believed what was most convenient at the time because of the people we were with. And maybe we jumped the fence quickly when in a new setting. Values were sometimes talked about but not defined, and certainly not adhered to.
It's difficult to develop a strong sense of self, to have a very secure self-image when the parameters offered by a value system are lacking. Our values define who we are. They offer us direction when making choices. They quietly demand that we behave responsibly. Living in concert with our values brings peace to our souls.
Gone are the days when we rode first one fence and then another, never knowing what side of any issue we honestly believed in. The program has offered us a plan for living, a plan that erases the many uncertainties, the inner turmoil of past years.
Today will have a clarity about it that l can appreciate. I know who I am. I know what I believe. All I need do is act accordingly.
