Transformation

"Then you get honest with yourself. Self-overhauling...we just called it getting honest with yourself as you never had been...And, to humble yourself enough so you could get this program, you'd better sit down and - in confidence - get thoroughly honest with somebody else."

Our Great Responsibility, p. 90

Final Thought:

"Being grateful - We can watch out for a tendency to say, 'Yes, but-' in response to ant optimistic, complimentary, or positive statement. A friend's good luck or his youthful appearance, or a celebrity's plug for a charity may tempt us to say sourly, 'Yes, but-'... But does this thinking habit help anyone - including ourselves? Can't we let something good simply be? Can't we just be pleased about it, rather than trying to downgrade it?"
