my daily reflections…

in an effort to learn and live humility as best as i can, a first practice is to get out of self and be of service to those around me. even when doin this i may be self-servin, and i must check my motives whenever i move forward out of self. when movin from self, helpin another without expectation of return, i start to get a sense of how i can be useful for my HP. its been my experience that often times my HP speaks to me through my interaction with those around me. with this understandin, i must be aware that maybe, just maybe, their HP speaks through me toward them as well. helpin others affords me the capability to be open to receivin my HPs will. with it i get to move forward to the uncommon i may have never ventured into before my recovery began. overcomin the shortcomins i have, and often not knowin exactly what they are, im performin acts of charity and generosity, which my HP guides me toward. without thought my behavior changes and havin asked my HP to remove my shortcomins from me prior, i begin to live a life beyond the shortcomins i used to practice readily without prior conception or knowledge i was doin em. if im to focus on removin my shortcomins, arent i tryin to control em? arent i to rely upon my HP to take em from me so i can enjoy the freedom this release brings me? i reckon, as i listen to His intuitive voice within guide me, without any conception of mindful acknowledgement, livin as free as recovery has taught me, my shortcomins are removed through my next right actions. this, to me, is the miracle of recovery. and helpin others leads me into the realm of spiritual awareness that provides me with the spiritual experiences i seek without even tryin to seek em. He comes to me, as i go to Him. as i go to Him, He comes to me. all of this quietly teaches me the humility step 7 offers. 1 day @ a time...
