Maciek on Nostr: Real change seems to begin not when I wait for a miracle, but when I become willing ...
Real change seems to begin not when I wait for a miracle, but when I become willing to learn. What matters is a humble posture of a student: listening to the Teacher, allowing myself to be guided, and accepting that meaningful change requires more than desire or desperation.
My pain, confusion, helplessness, and even my mistakes can become a real starting point, but only if they lead me into that posture of learning rather than into passive waiting. I cannot expect God to fix me magically while I remain unchanged in my thinking, because positive change asks for attention, trust, and a willingness to mature on the road.
Step Seven becomes a humble request for help and a willingness to follow the Teacher. Without that guidance, I may want change, but I will not know how to grow into it.
