Remember Mindfulness – enjoy the moment

Change

If I am to continue to change, as I hope I will do, I need an idea of what I would like to become. The Twelve Steps have helped me identify character defects and I now wish to create something better. What do I admire in others? The Twelve Steps emphasise honesty, courage, responsibility, unselfishness, integrity and willingness to change. Few people have all these qualities at full strength, but some display perhaps a few of these to great effect. We should study them as role models and learn from them because the example of others is a powerful force for change in ourselves. Am I working on spiritual growth through learning from the example of others?

‘Courage to change’ is a part of the wording of the Serenity Prayer. If I am going to move from good intention to action, I must start doing things to help my recovery. Do I have a sponsor and a home group? Apart from the support and guidance that they give me, what can I learn from their attitudes and example? A child learns from watching how its parents behave more than from what they say. I will help myself to change by understanding the process of how it happens. I ask for the humility to learn from others.
