Willingness
All by himself, and in the light of his own circumstances, he needs to develop the
quality of willingness. When he acquires willingness, he is the only one who can
make the decision to exert himself. Trying to do this is an act of his own will. All
of the Twelve Steps require sustained and personal exertion to conform to their
principles and so, we trust, to God's will.
