“Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well?” (Page 61, Big Book)
“When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God’s hands were better than anything we could have planned.” (Page 100)
Wresting the good from the world does not work.
If I surrender to God, the good comes, but not from the world, from God.
