ME and the Boss

“It is not talking but walking that will bring us to heaven.”  ~ Matthew Henry

The story goes that Bill W. was out voted by the committee who

helped write the Big Book and therefore the word Utopia replaced

the word Heaven on page 16.

Bill noted that the good life is right here on Earth

for those who know sobriety.

Call the good life whatever you may, Heaven, Utopia, Eden,

or Jan-nah, however, you must know it is not the word but the

action that will have the greatest meaning.

Today, act kind, act loving, and act like the person the God of your

understanding wants you to act.

Happiness is making this life the best life.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss

“The grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do, something to love,
and something to hope for.”            ~ Allan K. Chalmers

What the alcoholic essentially needs to do is to stop drinking.

Something to do is to be kind, loving, patient and tolerant, forgiving

and just be the person your Higher Power expects you to be.

Something to love is yourself, others and this beautiful world

given to all by the Great Creator.

Something to hope for is a better world, happy, joyous and free

because you are willing to do the next right thing in service to

yourself, others and the Spirit of the Universe.

Happiness is essentially an inside job.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
