when i put the spiritual principles i have learned into action in my life, i attract newer members to this manner of living. it certainly has been quite a work week and i have one more big thing to attend to today. while i may not look like i am going through a momentous shift in my life. my career path, my service efforts and what i can offer the men who have come to trust me as their sponsor all seem to be morphing into something that will be quite unrecognizable six months form now. as this process is unfolding, it is a good thing to ponder what vibes i am putting off that others can see and feel. it is a good time for me to look at what is going inside, because i know what i am feeling about myself and my recovery, my career and life in general, is reflected in my actions when i expose myself to the fellowship in general by sharing at meetings.
quite honestly, i am getting excited about where my life is going, some of the unresolved issues in my life, are starting to resolve, and after noon today, i may have a major decision or two to make. my physical health, namely the injuries i have incurred in my zeal for physical fitness are resolving and i will be able to return to a workout regimen probably on Monday. emotionally i am starting to feel better about my future and spiritually i can feel the HOPE returning as i finish thew 1st step process and prepare to move into step 2.
so how does any of this affect what i am doing to welcome the newcomers to the room? well i know that i am on the right path. i know that i am changing into something more, and i know that i am someone who is comfortable living a life of recovery, at least just for today. all i need to do, is to be true to myself, and allow my inside state to show on the outside of me, and i will put off a welcoming vibe. so it is back to work to see if i can get everything done.
