Two guys were
having a drink in a bar in Alaska.
Eventually the conversation got around to God.
One man had an unshakable faith in God. The other did not.
"I gave your God a chance," said the skeptic,
"but he failed me when I needed him most."Countered the believer,
"What do you mean, 'You gave God a chance'?"
"Two years ago I was lost about sixty miles north of here,"
recalled the man.
"I was caught in a blinding snowstorm. I couldn't see a thing.
I walked in circles as the temperature began falling.
Finally, I dropped to my knees and from a place deep inside
me shouted, 'I'm gonna die. . ."'
The other man smiled, "But you must believe in God.
You're here. . . you're alive."
"Oh no," he exclaimed, "some Eskimo came along
and took me back to town in his sled." (Ed Butler)
You can always
tell an alcoholic, but you can't tell him much.
To an alcoholic,
instant gratification isn't fast enough.
"But enough
about me, what do you think of me?"
An alcoholic
is an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.
Alcoholics
are just like everyone else only more so.
An alcoholic
only knows one note on the scale,Me, Me, Me.
Alcoholics'
Anthem, "I Was Always On My Mind"
My mind has
a mind of its' own.
Don't confuse
me with the facts.
My perception
of what's happening and what's really happening are two different things.
Things aren't
necessarily going wrong just because they're not going my way.
Don't take
yourself so damned seriously.
You can't think
yourself into right action, but you can act your way into right thinking.
I'm in trouble
when I think I know something.
We are given
the lesson of humility when we least expect it, or want it.
Take the cotton
out of your ears and put it in your mouth.
You should
never compare your inside to somebody elses outside
If you suffer
from low self-esteem, do esteemable things.
