Meeting Topic: "Our real purpose is to fit ourselves to be of maximum service to God and the people about us"
"Our real purpose is to fit ourselves to be of maximum service to God and the people about us" I could have sworn it said "my real purpose is to get sober, get the guy, and live happily ever after"....thankfully I was wrong. Purpose is the fundamental reason for which something is done, created, or exists. So the purpose of the sobriety I was gifted wasn't about me at all. It was all for God. After I swallowed hard and grieved that life I thought I was owed for getting sober, even though I didn't get me sober, but I digress, I went to opposite extreme of happily ever after to "I guess I'm a nun now" as interpreted through my egoic 3-D linear thinking...shocking. Thankfully I was wrong about that too....I'm wrong a lot! LOL! Which is fine, because I now get to actually learn the lessons that genuinely do fit me to be of max service to God and the people about me through the experience of that lesson learned. If I already know everything ...
