We're there to sweep off our side of the street, realizing that nothing worthwhile can be accomplished until we do so, never trying to tell him what he should do.
Ever wondered how focusing on your own actions can lead to a more peaceful life? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives into the concept of 'sweeping off our side of the street'. This idea, rooted in the teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous, is all about taking responsibility for our own faults and shortcomings instead of pointing fingers at others. Joe emphasizes that true growth comes from within, and it's a gradual process requiring patience and commitment.
He explains that preparing for amends involves getting 'fit enough' to face those we've hurt during our addiction, and being honest about our own mistakes without falling into the trap of judgment. Throughout the episode, Joe shares reflections on how taking responsibility can lead to a greater sense of peace and purpose. By focusing on our own growth, we can create a supportive environment for ourselves and others in recovery.
If you're on the path to sobriety and looking for practical guidance and inspiration, this episode is definitely worth a listen. Joe's compassionate approach offers a powerful reminder that no one benefits from judgment, and that personal responsibility is key to lasting change.
