Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.

~Pearl S. Buck

When we’re out of sorts with everyone and everything, and we realize that we’re the one who needs to change, that’s growth.

When we mind our own business and don’t take the inventory of another, that’s growth.

When we don’t expect anyone to change their opinion simply because it differs from ours, that’s growth.

When we think we’re right at one moment then are proven wrong the next, and are happy about it because we’ve learned something, that’s growth.

When we are as happy about another’s progress as we are about our own, that’s growth.

When we welcome each new day instead of dreading it, that’s growth.

I used to seek happiness in material things and over dependence on other people. Now growth itself is happiness.

Today's reading is from the book Easy Does It: A Book of Daily Twelve Step Meditations*
