• What   used   to   be   the   hunch   or   the   occasional   inspiration   gradually   becomes   a working  part  of  the  mind. • Nevertheless,  we  find  that  our  thinking  will,  as  time  passes,  be  more  and  more  on the  plane  of  inspiration.  We  come  to  rely  upon  it. Big  Book  page  #87-­‐88:

• We   constantly   remind   ourselves   we   are   no   longer   running   the   show,   humbly saying   to   ourselves   many   times   each   day   “Thy   will   be   done.”   We   are   then   in much  less  danger  of  excitement,  fear,  anger,  worry,  self-­‐pity,  or  foolish  decisions. • We  become  much  more  efficient. • We  do  not  tire  so  easily,  for  we  are  not  burning  up  energy  foolishly  as  we  did when  we  were  trying  to  arrange  life  to  suit  ourselves.
