Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful. You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 1369-1370).
Where can I be of service?
Where am I of maximum usefulness?
What defects of character
should my Higher Power remove
that I may be useful to HP or others?
What about what makes me happy,
what feels like I'm supposed to do it
but when I give God free rein
to take this path (the one I chose)
of that path (the one I don't need for me)
it seems to be at odds with comfort.
I can name the ways it would help
close to home but those it would complicate as well.
But I did give The Power my power, my proxy in this,
and I'll stand by the decision and go where perhaps
it's really true...I can be of maximum service
to others.
