Step 10 is probably the most misunderstood, the most underutilised and the most powerful one. It's a secret spiritual weapon. First of all it's a tool for everyday use, even multiple times a day. Most of it happens in just seconds in my thoughts. But it can change a lot. I already admitted and painfully experienced many times, that my self-will is poisonous to me. But it's impossible to completely get rid of it just by myself. Step Ten is a simple method to accept God's help in this. An impossible struggle turns to quite an easy spiritual hygiene. When I notice any disturbance of my inner peace, I try to pause and realise, that if not for my selfishness, fear or dishonesty, I wouldn't be struggling. Then I ask God to remove my defects and show me His will, which is simply better than mine. If I caused any damage, I make amends. If possible, I share this situation with someone. Next, I try to be useful to other human beings. The serenity is back before I know it. #lent #12steps #step10 View quoted note →

Truth can hurt, but that does not mean it is bad. Pain is a sign that something important is happening, and that I am touching reality instead of running from it. The important thing is what I do with that pain. If I turn it into shame and self-attack, it can crush me. But if I stay calm and honest, it can help me see both what I did wrong and what was going on inside me when I did it. What good was I trying to reach for, even in a bad way? Maybe I wanted safety, expression, relief, or care, but I reached for it in a way that hurt someone. That does not excuse the harm, but it helps me stay in truth without falling into despair. This continuous introspection is not only about noticing mistakes. It is also about learning what I am really hungry for, so that I can seek it in a better and freer way. #lent #12steps #step10 View quoted note →

Freedom is not easy. It requires practice, effort, and truth. Often my issue is not the wrong I do, but the lies I tell myself about it. How I soften it, explain it away, or pretend it is not so bad. I don't want to call myself names, but simply admit the truth about my defects. Stop ignoring them, but also stop trying to fix them on my own. This is what Step Ten is for. It invites me to keep checking myself honestly, so I do not slip back into denial. When I allow myself to see the truth, I share it with Someone and with someone, so the change can be continued. #lent #12steps #step10 View quoted note →

Making amends can easily become false if I turn it into a dramatic gesture that mainly serves my self-image. Real amends are meant to help another person and confirm a real change in me, not let me feel noble, heroic, or relieved for a moment. This step asks for thoughtfulness and, very importantly, for someone else’s perspective. There is no single formula, because every situation is different, and what looks brave from the inside may in fact be impulsive, self-serving, or useless in practice. Amends are not only a burden, but a way of celebrating a new life. Even if I begin simply because I know I should, the deeper point is to grow into a freer way of living, where doing what is right becomes less a performance and more a genuine expression of change. Alright, enough about amends. #lent #12steps #step9 View quoted note →

Are you still trying to time the market? Checking the charts? Wishing you were earlier? Dreaming about lambos? Grow up. Delete tradingview. Spend less than you make. Save in bitcoin. Give back to the community by spend and replace. And use the time and energy it saved you to grow and nurture your relationships. GN.

Making amends is not about humiliating myself or punishing myself. It begins with contrition, which means facing the sad truth that I harmed a relationship and no longer hiding from it. If repair is possible, the most honest beginning may be a simple question: what can I do to help make this right. The point is not to compensate everything perfectly, because that is often impossible, but to make a real gesture of respect, care, and responsibility within the limits of what is actually possible. This also means that amends should not destroy my life in the name of fairness, especially when the damage can never be fully undone. What matters is that the gesture is real and strong enough to confirm that my change is not only an idea but something I am willing to live out in practice. #lent #12steps #step9 View quoted note →

What matters in making amends is not getting relief as quickly as possible, but helping life return to a relationship that has been damaged. Before I speak or act, I need to ask whether this step will truly serve the other person and the relationship, rather than simply making my own burden easier to carry. That is why I should not make such decisions alone. When I am full of guilt, shame, or emotional pressure, I can easily confuse my need for relief with honesty, courage, or love. I need someone steady and trustworthy who can help me look at the situation more objectively, weigh the context, and see what may help and what may only cause more harm. This gives Step Nine a more patient and humane shape. Sometimes the right answer is not never, but not yet, and always the first good step is to seek support before trying to repair anything directly. Even then, I am still moving in the right direction, because careful and honest steps can prepare the ground for deeper healing later. #lent #12steps #step9 View quoted note →

– Sorry to interrupt you, guys, but I'm hearing your conversation... are you philosophers? – No, we're bitcoiners. This happened today, when we were consuming some walk rewards after our weekly @BitcoinWalk. Forgot to take the proof of walk photo, so instead here's a random pic of Warsaw. For the record: there were four of us this time.

I grow and thrive when I offer something of myself and stay open enough to receive as well. This seems to be written into our nature. If I stay honest and in touch with myself, I cannot remain indifferent to the harm I have done. The lack of life in another person begins to hurt, especially when I know I had some part in causing it. That is why making amends can be something surprisingly positive. It can become a quiet celebration that now I am able to do something different from the harm I once did. A real apology should not silence the other person before they speak, and making amends should not become a way of proving to myself that I am still admirable. If I build my worth on how I judge myself, I will keep swinging between pride and shame. Something deeper is needed, a sense of identity grounded not in what I am like, but in who I am. #lent #12steps #step8 View quoted note →

Change becomes real only when it begins to touch the people I have harmed. It is one thing to turn away from old behaviour inwardly. It is another to face the unfinished past and become willing to repair at least part of what I damaged. This is difficult because I can get lost in two opposite illusions. I can try to fix everything perfectly, as if I could erase the past and save myself. Or I can give up completely and use the impossibility of full repair as an excuse to do nothing. The healthier way seems quieter and more honest. I do what is actually possible, without force and without performance, because making amends is less about looking good and more about becoming inwardly consistent, peaceful, and faithful to the change that has begun in me. Sometimes direct repair will not be possible, and some doors will stay closed. Even then, the task does not disappear. I may still need to grieve what cannot be repaired directly and look for another real way to bring good where I once brought harm. Otherwise one part of my life remains pulled backwards into the past instead of being freed for the present. #lent #12steps #step8 View quoted note →
