GENIUS
“The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.”
~ Arthur Koestler ~
I need to remember that genius is often simplicity itself. The original thought need not be abstract, intellectual, or technical; thoughts exist to transmit the message.
In the slogans “Keep It Simple,” “One Day at a Time,” and “Don’t Pick Up the First Drink,” wisdom combines with simplicity to produce sobriety. God is at work everywhere and the spiritual message always brings healing. AA is more than a “fellowship of genius”; it is Divinity set to a program. What began with a group of alcoholics crosses new frontiers into the healing of the world.
God of Truth, may I always he open and receptive to Your voice.

GENIUS
“In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous.”
–Robert G. Ingersoll
Spirituality is a creative and positive energy that forever seeks new ways to improve and heal itself. Spirituality is never satisfied with mediocrity. God is alive in musicians, writers, singers and prophets — and always the standard of “excellence” is searched for; best can be made better!
As a drunk I often settled for convenience, “no sweat”, mediocrity. My motto was “Why bother? It can be done tomorrow.” I had low energy. Addiction robs the human being of God’s productive energy.
In recovery I seek the best because I believe I am the best; God made me — and I respect His choice!
Lord, save me from the “comfortable way” that makes no demands on my genius.
