Remember Mindfulness – breathe slowly

Working the Steps

We live in two worlds – the finite and describable world of objects and people that we can see, touch and hear, and the world of ideas that is basically indescribable; we use the first to describe the second. So, if we say something like: I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul, we are using finite images – ‘master’ and ‘captain’ to describe an attitude – that of taking personal responsibility for our lives. The Twelve Steps are another example. We are using the finite image of a flight of steps to describe a programme of recovery because ‘steps’ illustrate progress. On this day in 2000 the 20 millionth copy of Alcoholics Anonymous was presented to Al-Anon. Am I ready to progress through the Steps?

If we keep ourselves mentally and emotionally in good shape, we are more likely to have peace of mind. If we do our best to live according to proper moral and spiritual principles by putting value on honesty, humility, unselfishness, and love then we are likely to find contentment. The Twelve Steps are a good guide to our spiritual and moral wellbeing.
