Keep an Open Mind

AA Thought for Today
Sometimes, an A.A. member will talk about taking the various parts of the program in cafeteria style – selecting what he likes and letting alone what he does not want. . . .
However, it is good to remember the temptation in a cafeteria to pick up nothing but a lot of deserts or starches or salad or some other food we particularly like. It serves as an important reminder to us to keep a balance in our lives.
In recovering from alcoholism, we found that we needed a balanced diet of ideas, even if some of them did not look, at first, as enjoyable as others. Like good food, good ideas did us no good unless we made intelligent use of them.
