Step 10-We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. scott@SharingTheBurden.ca
Somewhat self explanatory but how do we do it, how do we stay current? The Back To Basics program http://www.aabacktobasics.com/ has a checklist of common liabilities with corresponding assets to strive for. This keeps one current and in my case FREE. I am prompted to handle things NOW! When I do this simple checklist, I don't attach to these things and therefore remain FREE. Whatever we hang onto or cling to controls us!
LIABILITIES OFF-SETTING ASSET
1-RESENTMENTS-FORGIVENESS
2-FALSE PRIDE-HUMILITY
3-ENVY-CONTENTMENT
4-JEALOUSY-TRUST
5-DISHONESTY-HONESTY
6-SELFISHNESS-UNSELFISHNESS
7-LAZINESS-ACTIVITY
8-INTOLERANCE-TOLERANCE/ACCEPTANCE
9-LUST SELF-CONTROL/INTIMACY
10-FEAR-FAITH, TRUST GOD
This list above works for me, especially as a situation of discomfort arises. I simply pray, ask for help, then take myself through the checklist one by one to see if any liability(s) is coming into play. Next I look at and strive for the offsetting asset in whatever way I can-usually more prayer in my case. It is amazing how my motivation becomes so clear! And what might I have done if I had not taken the minute to back off and do this simple exercise??
Spiritual Freedom is possible to the degree I live this simple philosophy of Step 10. Currency in all situations also keeps certain flaw/defects GLARING so that I MUST attend to them.
Step 10 is really steps 4-9 for today! Later...............
