A Perspective on Balance (Big Book 498-499)

After writing about gratitude, I spend a few minutes on Step Eleven, thinking about and jotting down a couple of goals: little things that could make a difference in someone else’s day, as well as an action I can take that day that could affect the bigger picture. I try to think of something I can say or do (anonymously) that would make me proud to be a human being. Setting out with a perspective that embraces humility not only gives me peace, but also frees me to bring energy and focus to what I think really matters. It’s a great way to start the day!
