Ever Take (personal) Inventory?
When I decided to start a journey to recovering a life I wanted, I honestly had no idea of who I was (has become) inside. I stuffed feelings, and my true self was hidden as best I could hide it from the world. Can you relate to being in this position?
To move forward and create something that was great, I had to take a personal inventory of myself. The thought was a little frightening, I required some guidance and the work was difficult because I was thorough and dug into my past deeply. It was, after all, for me.
Since the work was done, I try to take my own personal inventory daily.
For the wise have always known that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what he finds, and until he patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong.
Twelve and Twelve, page 88
I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along yesterday's baggage too. I must balance today's books, if I am to have a chance tomorrow. So I ask myself if I have erred and how I can avoid repeating that particular behaviour. Did I hurt anyone, did I help anyone, and why? Some of today is bound to spill over into tomorrow, but most of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.
In the Co-Creative Process of Life Recovery, we coach using a tried and true guideline for doing personal inventory. It is hard to build anything in life without really knowing the material you have to work with and have an appreciation of what the strengths are! This is applicable to achieving ANY goals you have for your life.
I try to practise what I preach, and love to work with others as a part of their achieving success. If you would like to learn more about moving toward a life and goals you really want, please look at www.creativeliferecovery.com. Inventory is free!!
How do you feel about taking (personal) inventory?
