What's the Why?

Nietzsche says that he who has a “why” to live for can endure any “how.” ~ Brooks, David. The Second Mountain (p. 30). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

 An early Recovery writer said,
"The gradual elimination of
selfishness in the growth
of love for God and
your fellow human beings
is the goal of life."
Do you have a Why in your life?
The Traditions work well
using a first person singular pronoun
for each. My welfare comes first...
A loving god is my ultimate authority...
I need a desire to stop eating compulsively...
I'm autonomous when nobody else is involved...
I cannot let other concerns divert me...
I need to be self-supporting...
I can share Recovery but not as a professional...
I can over-plan, make a
Recovery too rule-based...
I need to attract people to Recovery,
not promote it...
I must always see the primary role of principles
and not consider personalities more important.
A person who has a “why” to live
for can endure any “how.”
