Some people living in one day at a time recovery spend time ruminating about the simplest of slights that seem to offset a sense of belonging or perhaps even their God given sense of valued self-worth. Our over-sensitive egos understand this all too well. When we reality check with our inner-most being (our true-selves) we ask these simple questions – “How much will this slight matter in 5 years, or 5 months, or 5 days?” Inner reflections formed with a basis of love (not only for ourselves but for others too) most often reveal – “not much”. Thus comes the reality of the practice of letting go. We have better things to do than to ruminate about slight offenses which stir the egos’ need for resentment. We need to trust in grace. Peace.
