Morning Reflections: Spiritual Growth Over Material Gains
Episode Overview
Spiritual progress diminishes fears more effectively than financial gains. Using talents to benefit others can provide a clearer life purpose. The concept of AA being a 'selfish program' is about necessary self-concern for recovery. Daily reflections and prayers can be powerful tools in the recovery journey. Spiritual growth should be prioritised over material well-being.
For us, material well-being always followed spiritual progress. It never preceded.
