We will not regret the past nor wish to shut thedoor on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how ourexperience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pitywill disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interestin our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude andoutlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecuritywill leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations whichused to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us whatwe could not do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We thinknot. They are being fulfilled among us -- sometimes quickly, sometimesslowly. They will always materialize if we work for them." (BB pages83-84).
