Meeting of 10/21/16 – Self Actualization
COMING NEXT
The Chicken & The Eagle Part II:
Giving the Eagle a Human Face
“What human beings can be, they must be.”
— Abraham Maslow
LAST WEEK
If you were to go on a journey with someone for several decades, how important would the relationship between the two of you be? Of course, it would be essential to your well-being. Unfortunately, that someone is your inner-critic and most of us don’t get along with him or her at all. We offered 5 solutions to ease the relationship, a lovingkindness meditation and discussed making it bearable. We didn’t solve everyone’s problem but certainly took a step in the right direction.
THIS WEEK
A few weeks ago we told the story of the Chicken & the Eagle. It was inspiring and thought provoking. Now we give the eagle a human face in the form of Maslow’s Self Actualizing man. Not saying we should wake up tomorrow and be him or her but it is an ideal we can shoot for – an ideal that will help us FLOURISH.
Look forward to seeing you there.
The next meeting of the FlourishInSobriety Group is on October 21, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. at the Sycamore United Methodist Church in the conference room.
For those who haven’t been there: come in the side entrance and turn left at the corridor. Walk about 100’ and the conference room is on the left.
As always… If you can attend, we’d love to share your company for an hour or so…
If you can’t, do us a favor and do three things:
- Mark your calendar for next Friday – we’ll be there – same time, same place and the same goal: to help each other Flourish In Sobriety.
- Spread the word. Let your friends in A.A. know that there is a different kind of meeting in Sycamore every Friday night that they’d really benefit from attending.
- Give the topic of the meeting – “Self Actualization” – some serious thought and either email (flourishinsobriety@comcast.net) or call (779.368.0075) to let me know how best to handle the topic to be of benefit to you, your sponsees and others around the tables. As always I value your opinion.
