You can follow rules, steps and still not change. What happened? Well, you might check your attitude in relation to events in your life. Just because you are living a less crazy life, does not mean anyone around you is going to change. They are fine being whatever. Either you change your attitude or you build resentments. When your life was a mess, you had shame and guilt, and maybe resentments too. You changed some outside behavior. But you are no one’s center of their life. Well, your ego thinks so, whatever. Spiritual growth comes with attitude change. Attitude change, replacing resentments opens up new possibilities for you to act.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
