Many people living in one day at a time recovery discover that there is never enough time in our lives for us to do all the good that is realistically and unintentionally living within the confines of our experiential knowledge. We just cannot always get our best selves (our true selves) to break through the surface of our good intentions and often find ourselves falling short of helping others because we are people whose lives often center around me and those who are closest to me. This does not mean we are bad people. It just means we are human beings. In reality though, our experiential knowledge and our ability to do good does come to surface enough times that we do do good and help others in our efforts to be kind, caring, and compassionate people. It’s our reality of extending a hand whenever and wherever we can. Peace.
