Nobility

 

It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference. -Tom Brokaw

I remember saying some years ago, early in my recovery, that I wanted to be noble. It's not a word that is used very often, and yet, can you really be a spiritual person-saying yes to Spirit-without wanting to be noble? Noble is being honest, humble, patient, kind, accepting, and respectful. It is the strength discovered in a healthy religion. Nobility is involved in our dance in God. It is beyond price. Money is important. It can bring joy, freedom, and education to many people, but the use of money without the ingredient of nobility is dangerous.

I still want to be noble.
