I need to start thinking of myself as the hands and feet of God.
Feeling like you're the center of the universe can be a tough habit to break, especially for those struggling with alcoholism. In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles the tricky topic of self-centeredness and ego. Drawing vivid comparisons to a retired businessman grumbling about the state of the nation or a minister lamenting modern sins, Joe paints a clear picture of how self-absorption can sneak into our lives.
But it's not all doom and gloom; he offers a roadmap for change through self-inventory and honest reflection. By identifying where we've been selfish or self-pitying, we can start to let go of these habits and free ourselves—and others—from their grip. Joe suggests that the ultimate goal is to see ourselves not as the main characters in our own dramas, but as 'the hands and feet of God'.
This shift from self-centeredness to selflessness opens up a world of service and positive change. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode provides valuable insights into how you can transform your approach to life. So, if you're ready to move from ego-driven actions to meaningful service, this episode is a must-listen.
