“Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.” – Alcoholics Anonymous

When I’m having any struggles in my life, a good question to ask is “what are my motives in this situation”. Chances are I’m attempting to get something, keep something or have someone do or say things differently so that I feel better. When I can identify this, then ask how I can help others, I transform my selfish, self-centered motives into God-centered ones. The sunlight of the spirit enters, expelling the bondage of self. Once again, I get to be happy, joyous and free! ILML :))
