Step 6 - I become entirely ready to have God remove all of these defects of character

Do you have any fairy tales or myths that you feel a special affinity with? Why?

Describe situations and events where you have been full of pride. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you?

What are some healthy eating or exercise habits that you could start?

What are some unhealthy eating habits that you could give up?

Describe some secret GOOD deeds that you have done or would like to do.

Describe situations and events where you have been greedy, overly needy or materialistic. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you? Are you ready to give these attitudes over to the care of God?

Describe situations and events where you have given in to lust without regard for others or any morality. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you? Are you ready to give these lustful feelings over to the power of God?

Describe situations and events where you have given into excessive eating, drinking, shopping or covetousness. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you? Are you ready to let God take control of these behaviors and attitudes?

Describe situations and events where you have been very envious or jealous of others. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you? Are your ready to turn these situations over to God?

Describe situations and events where you have avoided responsibility for your actions or lack of actions. What has this brought into your life that you like or enjoy? What problems has it caused you? Are you ready to allow God to help you take responsibility for your actions?

List your major defects of character.

oops, a colour that doesn't show in your blog.

I love how complicated we can make the steps. 6 just asks us to be entirely ready to let the higher power you acknowledge in 2&3 to remove the defects you saw in 4. No more, no less. Just be willing.

I have found that my defects remain with me, they are part of who I am. On a daily basis I am willing, and on a daily basis my HP minimizes them or they don't surface at all. I am willing to let them go, but then now and agin self-will takes over and can act until I listen to the small quiet voice, the Universal Truth that lives within.

I truly work hard at keeping it simple every day!
