PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION -
"The point is, that
we are willing to grow
along spiritual lines. The
principles we have set down
are guides to progress. We
claim spiritual progress ra-
ther than spiritual per-
fection." (The Big
Book, p. 60)
"A WAY OF LIFE" WITH MANY ROADS YOU CAN TAKE -
"Our program is a
way of life. We learn the
value of spiritual principles
such as surrender, humility
and service from reading the
... literature, going to meet-
ings and working the
steps." (The Basic
Text, p. 12)
"To be idle is a
short road to death
and to be diligent is away
of life; foolish people
are idle, wise people
are diligent."
- Gautama Buddha (563-483 B.C.), Hindu Prince and founder of Buddhism
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
