In this episode I’ll continue with the action steps and specifically step number eight. If that I have associated with step number eight is the gift of willingness. There is no problem whatsoever in receiving and using this gift from God. The real problem lies within. Most of us, in reading about the 12 steps, have some sense of where each step is leading us. It doesn’t take a super amount of intelligence to realize that this step is preparation for step number nine. This is where my ego kicks in and says, “Hey check, be careful and don’t get yourself mired in this quicksand of willingness. I certainly have to keep learning to listen to my spirit instead of my ego.
