“The First Step prepares us for a new life, which we can achieve only by letting go of what we cannot control, and by undertaking, one day at a time, the monumental task of setting our world in order through a change in our own thinking.” (ODAT, 23 May)
If I take care of the inner, the outer takes care of itself.
If I take care of my relationship with God, my relationship with the world sorts itself out.
If I take care of the present, the future sorts itself out.
If I take care of the present, the past sorts itself out.
If I take care of me, others sort themselves out—or not.
But, if not, they’re no further behind by me sorting myself out.
