“We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show” (Pages 87–88, Big Book)
There are only two roles available: God and servant.
I have to remind myself of this because, when I’m agitated or doubtful, I’m playing God.
How?
To play God is to have a notion of how things should be, and to be agitated arises from things not according with my notion.
To play God is to fail to play servant.
The servant’s instructions are pinned up in the servant’s booth.
If I’m not in the booth, I won’t see the instructions, so I won’t know what to do.
Playing God is at the root of all mischief.
