"When money speaks the truth keeps silent"               ~Russian Proverb

Money talks to all of us. Whether we admit it or not, a lot of our self-esteem is based on the amount of money we’re able to earn, hoard, or spend. How could it be otherwise? The siren song of success calls out to us daily from advertisements, television shows & newspapers: “You must have more or you are a failure.” Because we hear the message loud & clear & because we don’t want to be failures, it’s hard not to buy into the idea.

But self has to do with being, not with having. These are totally different realities. Self-esteem is an art in itself, not a work of art that can be bought or sold. To have self-esteem is to know how much is enough. It is to value friendship over things & to have the ability to relax more, worry less & find plenty to laugh about.

Certainly everybody needs enough money to live on. Poverty can kill a spirit as quickly as riches can. But even great wealth can’t buy what isn’t for sale. Truly happy people know that their real riches reside within.

Until next weeks Meditorial this is the Monty’man wishing

Serenity for You

Recovery Times has but one purpose and goal, and that is to carry the message of 12-Step Recovery  -- as written and practiced in its founding organization's (AA's) unaltered 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts for World Service, but not limited to only AA-sanctioned material (such as The Holy Bible, The Koran, The Upanishads, etc.). Recovery Times is not affiliated nor approved with or by any 12 Step organizations.

Recovery Times publishes only each author's opinions or positions on all matters, and doesn't necessarily agree or disagree with anyone on anything. Our Principles and Protocols are expressed beautifully in the Prayer of St. Francis (p.99, 12-Steps and 12-Traditions).
