Steps 10 and 11: Finding Daily Balance with Joe McDonald

Your past prepared you for your purpose, and as you start walking in that purpose you'll realize every gnarly thing you ever went through was absolutely necessary, for the work god has for you going forward.
What if practicing a few key principles could bring peace and stability to your daily life? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald takes a close look at Steps 10 and 11 from Alcoholics Anonymous. Starting with a heartfelt prayer, Joe emphasizes the need for transformation rather than mere restoration. He delves into how these steps can be seamlessly woven into everyday activities, fostering a sense of unity and oneness.
Joe discusses the power of prayer, not just as a ritual but as a means to act kinder than you might feel inclined to. He highlights that these steps are about developing a 'God consciousness'—a vital sixth sense that guides your actions and thoughts. By divorcing yourself from self-pity and self-seeking motives, you can become a stable force in your own life and the lives of others.
The episode also explores how your thoughts and feelings shouldn't be dictated by external circumstances. Joe stresses the importance of exercising willpower to seek the right thoughts or actions, especially when you're agitated or doubtful. He wraps up by emphasizing the transformative power of living by AA's principles, offering practical advice on pausing and reflecting before reacting.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to integrate AA's wisdom into their daily routine, offering both spiritual and practical insights that can help you stay balanced and focused.
