12 Step Axioms

I am not a 12-Step person but there are two 12-Step axioms that I just love. In my 60's, I think I finally get what they mean.

"Self-seeking will slip away." 

and 

"Half measures availed us nothing." 

(on pages 84 and 59 respectively of the Big Book, thanks to my pal JTM!)

If I am not always trying so hard to fix something I see as broken within myself, and can find a please of ease with myself, I can fully show up for the right here and right now.

and

I stopped doing things half-assed, because either I have more time to do them properly at this time in my life or I can just let them go because they are not necessary. I have choice. Doing things half-assed gets me nowhere fast. 

Here is one more that I love:

"Don't give up before the miracles happen!" Things are always changing and amazing things happen if you hang in there.

Which axioms do you love and live by?
