Martyrs set bad examples.
--David Russell
Sometimes we call people "martyrs." We think of them as victims. They suffer, but sometimes not for a cause. They play "poor me." They want people to notice how much they suffer. They are afraid to really live. These are the people who set bad examples.
True martyrs died for causes they believed in. We remember them because they were so full of energy and spirit.
We can also live a life full of energy and spirit. Recovery helps us live better. Let's go for it!
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power - thanks for giving me energy and for healing my spirit. Help me live fully by putting my life in Your care.
Action for the Day
What kind of example do I set? Does my life reflect joy for life and recovery?
