DISCARDING THE NEGATIVITY -
"When we are sincere in our desire to allow our Higher Power to care for us, we begin to gain a sense of serenity. We notice a gradual change in our thinking. Our attitudes and ideas become more positive." "We learn that we don't have to be perfect to live a spiritual life." (It Works, How & Why, p. 24)
CLEARING A PATH FOR PEACE -
"There was a sense of victory, followed by such a peace and serenity as I had never know. There was utter confidence. I felt lifted up, as though the great clean wind of a mountain top blew through and through." (The Big Book, p. 14)
"Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people."
- Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964) 1st Prime Minister of India
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
