Humility

Step 7's spiritual focus is humility, asking a higher power to do something that cannot be done by self-will or mere determination. I have found that when my conscious contact is in tune that "WE" cannot fail, I say we because to me this is applying step 7 in my life, this is trusting someone or something greater than myself. I believe that I have been taught to never trust to never surrender to be the man. I was taught this by my family, this wasn't wrong this was just the way my family was raised and they did the best they could.
 This resentment stuck with me for years until I surrendered to my Higher Power, until I trusted something other than my will. My will constantly brought me to crossroads of pain and sadness and despair, I cannot live like this anymore, I step aside and ask for guidance by surrendering and living a new way, living by principles. Does this mean I am always in that place of serenity? Most of the time I am, when I am not it is as simple as taking a moment to surrender and stepping out of my higher powers way and aligning my trust and faith in something greater than myself.
 I have found that our way of life is not for the weak and uncommitted, I had to be willing to live another way and trust in something bigger than me and do the work it takes to find peace. There is nothing in this world we cannot have or do if we are willing to do this work! This program is not for people who need it or want it, it is for people who DO WORK!
