Its all good.
Yes, it is about getting real. Real honest.
And the proof was self evident for you yesterday, from the sounds of it. You honestly sharing you could not pay, someone heard you and stepped up to the plate. No doubt they want you to do the same when you have a few more months under your belt and the finances to help others. Remembering all those that have helped me, I have a real responsibility to Pay It Foward.
Which reminds me of a very important movie I highly recommend. It is also a good old book...
Magnificant Obsession
there is a very obvious part of the story that is very much akin to what we do here, in fact I would go so far that they were very much illuminating the 12 steps in action and showing where this legacy comes from... 2000 years ago, the Golden Rule and Sermon on the Mount, etc
this wonderful obviously sober old man brings in a man, in from the storm so to speak... gives him shelter and food, an ear to listen, broad shoulders
His one and only request for this kindness was to do the same for someone else, but if anyone finds out you have done this kindness it does not count...
has to do with Paying It Forward and for doing so with the right reasons in heart and mind
doing so for self agrandizement is just wrong, imnsho, that is ego getting in the way of being of service
In Service Always,
