November 5

Minsan ang ginagawa ko ay hindi gaanong mahalaga kaysa sa kung bakit gusto ko ito. Halimbawa, kung pipiliin kong magsalita kapag may nakakagambala sa akin, ang aking motibo sa pagsasalita ay nakakaimpluwensya sa sasabihin ko at kung paano ko ito sasabihin. Kung magsasalita ako dahil sa palagay ko ito ang tamang aksyon na gagawin ko at dahil kailangan kong ipahayag ang aking sarili, ang pokus ay nasa akin.

Ang mga reaksyon ng tagapakinig ay nagiging hindi na ganoon mahalaga. Ngunit kung nagsasalita ako upang manipulahin o mabago ang ibang tao, ang kanilang reaksyon ay nagiging pokus ng aking pansin.

Maaari akong gumamit ng magkaparehong salita sa parehong sitwasyon, ngunit mas maganda ang aking pakiramdam tungkol sa karanasan kung ako ay nakatuon sa aking sarili. Kakatwa, ang mga resulta ay karaniwang mas kanais-nais sa ganoong paraan din.

Paalala Ngayon

Ngayon, sa halip na maghangad lamang ng mga resulta, isasaalang-alang ko ang paggawa ng kilos dahil mukhang tama ang mga aksyon para sa akin.

“Kahit na alam ko na bukas pagguho nang mundo, itatanim ko pa rin ang aking puno ng mansanas.”

Martin Luther

English Translation

Sometimes what I do is less important than why Id it. For instance, if I choose to speak up when something bothers me, my motives for speaking will influence what I say and how I say it. If I speak because I feel it is the right action for me to take and because I have a need to express myself, then the focus is on me. The listener reactions become far less important.

But if I speak out in order to manipulate or change another person, then their reaction becomes the focus of my attention and the measure by which I evaluate the results.

I may use exactly the same words in both situations, but I am likely to feel much better about the experience if my focus is on myself. Ironically, the results usually seem more favorable that way as well.

Today’s Reminder

Today, instead of aiming only for the results, I will consider taking actions because they seem to be the right actions for me.

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

Martin Luther

About Site

This website was created to determine if the collaborative power of the internet could be harnessed to spread the Alanon message to non-English speaking parts of the world farther and faster, while remaining true to the original texts of Alanon conference approved literature.

Once fully operational, and if successful, the concept could be adapted for translating CAL to any language.

While we may be in violation of Copyrights or Trademarks, we humbly ask that you hold this matter in abeyance during implementation. We anticipate completion about December 2021. At that time, if it is the wish of the membership, control of the domain and all content will be transferred to WSO or it can be closed it down.
