Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually

Integrity

In normal life we hardly realise how much more we receive than we give, and life cannot be rich without such gratitude. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who wrote these words while in prison awaiting execution by the Nazis, was unusual in returning from America to Germany in 1939, at a time when others were fleeing. He saw his duty to oppose Hitler and later died as a result. A brave man who listened to his conscience and stood up for his beliefs. True integrity is surely to do just that. Am I ready to follow my conscience and stand up for my beliefs?

I can live a perfectly normal life once I accept that my life is never going to be perfectly normal. Ceasing my previous insane behaviour is a start. When I was regularly repeating the self-destructive cycle of addiction, there was no normality at all. I now attempt to make the right choices on the basis of sensible criteria, even if I don’t always get things right. I will not dwell on the past. Today I ask that I may give as much as I am able, because it is in giving that we receive.
