Taking the steps includes Steps Ten, Eleven, and Twelve. Unlike the first nine Steps, these are flexible in scope. The first nine Steps are closed-ended exercises, limited by the volume of the content addressed. Steps Ten, Eleven, and Twelve afford an opportunity for limitless expansion.
I've been in a position where I've formally completed the first nine Steps but, at some point later on, feel dejected. The answer always lies in these three Steps. There's almost no limit to how much they can be expanded. How much do they need to be expanded? As much as necessary until I get into orbit, where I'm peaceful and useful.
