“He may not see at once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode which will pay dividends only if he mines it for the rest of his life and insists on giving away the entire product.” (Chapter 9, Big Book)
“As arrested alcoholics, we must have a program for living that allows for limitless expansion.” (The Keys of the Kingdom, Big Book)
In sticking to the material and neglecting the spiritual, I sell myself short.
Focusing on the spiritual results in material improvements only as a by-product.
A big life means a big spiritual life, not a big material life.
