Step 2 , Step 12 – The Dynamic Duo

Step 2 – Return me to sanity

A friend who has recently changed jobs shared how the insecurity that came with the new position made her  fat, stupid and ugly.
Now that is definitely insanity if I heard it.

Came to believe a power greater than myself

Our ego’s tell us we are what we do, we are what we have and we are what others think of me. Our spirit knows we are perfect, exactly as we are meant to be at this moment in time. To get away from the man-made thinking and align ourselves with the all is the solution.

Step 12 – Service to Others

Find a way to give of yourself however small.

  • 25 smiles at strangers

  • Buy a family size packet of snacks, peanut butter crackers, chocolate covered raisins, chewy vitamin C snacks…. something with nutrition and give one to every street-corner panhandler.

  • Sneak a dollar under a strangers windshield wiper.

  • Buy the guy behind you coffee

To me the real kicker is NOT to tell anybody what you’ve done. Break the “I am what others think about me” binding of the ego. I think you will be shocked how strong the pull is to brag how altruistic you are.
