Recompense

William Michael Forbes


Return good. wmf

A Well Known Fact: Do unto others and it will be done onto you.

We cannot think a thought without it affecting us…even our actions, which originate from within us have an effect upon us and those with whom we are connected. If people truly understood this fact…they would weigh carefully all of their action, thoughts, words and deeds before engaging in them. Today’s blog is about correcting errors we recognize that we’ve made and making amends…it is also the eighth steps in the twelve step program…to make a list of those we harmed and to make amends to them all.

So pull out a pen and paper…and for the next three minutes, write down the names of people you believe you’ve harmed. Then for one minute during the next twelve hours, hold each person in your mind and imagine making amends to them right now…you may, if you feel so inclined…physically communicate with those on your list in person and do it directly also, if this is appropriate to each situation and

Have a great day!
