GOALS OF GREATNESS
Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
~ Shakespeare
In our 12 Step Program, greatness comes through humility and gratitude. It is simply a matter of becoming willing and able to work with others toward a goal where each person can be happy in the freedom from addiction. Greatness is becoming a winner instead of a loser in the competition between addiction and making our lives manageable. It all comes from concentration on spiritual progress.
Greatness can be ours in many different ways. We can measure the amount of greatness by our own ability and willingness to take the vital Steps in our Program. We can measure the amount of greatness we either are born with, have thrust upon us, or rise to when we surrender to the reality that we have no power over our addiction or obsession.
The true measure of greatness lies in my ability to understand just where I am at any point in my recovery.
