“Our next function is to grow in understanding and effectiveness.” (Chapter 6, Big Book)
The two paths of growth: study and right action.
I think, freestyle, for around five minutes a day. The rest
of the time: study and right action. I do not need to come up with wisdom. I
need to expose myself to it. So I study. And I’m given a body to do something
with. It’s not there merely to carry my bloated brain around. So I keep busy.
God apparently dwells in the student of his wisdom and the servant of his direction.
