AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
If he is sincerely interested and wants to see you again, ask him to read this book in the interval. After doing that, he must decide for himself whether he wants to go on. He should not be pushed or prodded by you, his wife, or his friends. If he is to find God, the desire must come from within. – Pg. 95 – Working With Others

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
You have a monumental task ahead to set your world in order at the same moment that it has completely changed. Setting your world in order does not mean to ‘fix’ everybody around you and take care of their affairs. It means to improve and tend to yourself and your affairs. Do not confuse ‘setting things in order’ with controlling the world around you.
I do not attempt to control what is clearly beyond my sphere. I let my Higher Power tend to the world around me. I affect change from within.

I am on a spiritual journey. And on this journey I am my own best pilot and my own best philosopher. No one knows me as I know me and no one can synthesize all of the information that I receive each day into a coherent picture of my life as well as I can. If I don’t take charge of my journey, no one else will, no one else can. God has given me to me to take care of. I have been put in charge of my own self. I am the one who steers me through my day, who makes a myriad of tiny decisions that add up to a life. I am the eyes and ears behind each hour. I am the choice maker.
My life is up to me.

Opportunities are often disguised as problems and this is why we miss them. With the next problem you encounter, ask, ‘What can I learn from this?’
I watch for big problems; they disguise big opportunities.

Today I know I have the right be alive and happy and full of joy. Today I trust that I am where I’m supposed to be, and am moving in the right direction.

I know I’ve been spared from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. I know today that it’s a miracle standing up here in front of you. I know it. – JoJo S.
