NO MORE WORRIES -
"Now we try to
put spiritual princi-
ples to work in every
department of our lives.
When we do that, we find
it solves our problems too;
the ensuing lack of fear,
worry and hurt feelings
is a wonderful thing."
(The Big Book, pp.
116 - 117)
"THE EXPECTATIONS OF LIFE" -
"The first thing
we must realize is
that the Fifth Step is
not a quick fix for a pain-
ful situation. If we work
this step expecting our feel-
ings to go away, we are
expecting the steps to
numb us the way drugs
did." (It Works, How
& Why, p. 37)
"The expec-
tations of life
depend upon dili-
gence; the mechanic
that would perfect
his work must first
sharpen his
tools."
- Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC) Chinese philosopher / teacher
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
