FEBRUARY 19 Reflection for the Day
When people say rash or ugly things, we sometimes say they are forgetting themselves, meaning they’re forgetting their best selves in a sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury. If I remember the kind of person I want to be, hopefully I won’t forget myself and yield to a fit of temper. I’ll believe that the positive always defeats the negative: courage overcomes fear; patience overcomes anger and irritability; love overcomes hatred.

Am I always striving for improvement?

Today I Pray

Today I ask that God, to whom all things are possible, help me turn negatives into positives—anger into super-energy, fear into a chance to be courageous, hatred into love. May I take time out to remember examples of such positive-from-negative transformations from the whole of my lifetime. Uppermost is God’s miracle: my freedom from the slavery of gambling addiction.

Today I Will Remember

Turn negatives into positives.
