Don't worry if your job is small,
and your rewards are few.
Remember that the mighty oak,
Was once a nut like you.

We feel better about ourselves when we can laugh at ourselves a bit. All it takes is a little attitude adjustment. For example, if I decide to learn to ski and my first day out I fall on my face, I can take the attitude, I am a klutz, I'm not capable, I don't fit here. Or I can take the attitude, This sport is a riot! What a challenge! I can't wait to feel what it's like to get down without falling.
The person with the first attitude will quit and feel badly about himself or herself. The person with the second attitude may never be an Olympic skier, but will have fun, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment.
Today let me remember that attitudes make the difference and attitudes can be changed.

Found this posted to one of my sites in 2005, and posted it on another site in 2011.
I loved the quote. It reminded me that I was told that AA had a tool for any and all nuts who walked through the doors looking for recovery.
