Step 10

Words:
develop
tirade

Writing:

1. Write on two recent self-seeking situations, one when you used these disciplines, and another when you did not.  For each situation, write out what happened, and how it ended.
Disciplines:
PRACTICE SELF-RESTRAINT: Stop/pause. Step back.
ASK GOD FOR HELP.
DO INVENTORY:
  • Do an honest analysis of selfishness, resentment, dishonesty, and fear.
  • Be willing to admit when the fault is yours.
  • Be willing to forgive when the fault is elsewhere.
2. Write out what this means to you: “looking for progress and not perfection”.
Do you want to be perfect? Why do you want to be perfect? Can you achieve perfection? Why can you achieve perfection? Are you willing to accept that you cannot achieve perfection?
Write about progress. Have you seen progress? What does progress mean to you? Can you accept progress?
3. What are these self-seeking behaviors:  failed to be fair-minded, unkind tirade, willful self-judgment, power driven argument, silent scorn?  Have I done any of these recently?
