Spiritual Tool Kit

What exactly is it? Is it the steps?

My spiritual tool kit is made up of a few select books I've read, music and the outdoors. My spiritual took kit helps me to connect to my soul.

On page 25 of the Big Book, in the paragraph starting with There is a solution., the spiritual kit of tools laid at our feet is a reference to the 12 Steps and the spiritual directions laid out in that book.

For me the "Spiritual Tool Kit" was first working the steps, then learning how to live those steps in my daily life.

Over the years it has evolved for me to this:

"Just for today, to the best of my ability (and some days are better than others) I practice thoughtfulness, kindness and consideration to all who cross my path and treat them as I would like to be treated."

Sounds simple but it is harder than it sounds. By doing this 'practicing' daily I believe I am being a better person, and because I have to 'practice' this daily it has changed my life completely from what it was and I was when I first found recovery.
