Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-03 00:00:00 Eoin Fitzpatrick Step 6  I cant keep practicing my character defects and expect God to remove them! I have to develop a new set of habits and practice them. I must be willing to make the choice between my old and new habits. When it comes to will, I must be willing to put God's will in place of my will into action. I also have to be willing to accept that God will take care of me. I have to give up the fear of being comfortable in my own chaos and the unknown of not living the chaotic life. I have to get out of the comfort of practicing my character defects. It is the living of these defects that have hurt others, myself and separated me from God. Practicing my character defects led me to and separated me from Suzie. Another area(s) I have to let go of is belief in self. If I believe in God and believe God made me perfect in mind, body and spirit than I have to accept who I am. This is new for me as I have spent a life making me something I am not. On one hand through self discovery I am happy with what I have found. On the other am appalled at what I see. If I am to grow I have to accept me as God made me. I am to love who and what he has created.  It is courage that turns possibilities into realities and assures us that progress in improving our character is possible.  I am punished by my defects of character, not because I have them. My defects keep me from being all I can become. They limit my ability to grow.  If guilt & shame come from the past does this mean I am still living in the past? Are not these emotions from within? Yes, I can divert & or change my thoughts but I can not stop from where the thoughts come. If am to experience joy/happiness I must deal with the source of these emotions (guilt & shame).  Step 7 Humility is an attitude. Humility is acceptance of ourselves.  Step seven is about asking God to help me change the thinking, actions & behavior that stand in my way.  The way to get through fear is action-and to ask for help.  The hardest part of my life is facing my fears. If I can divert/change my thinking to: The most exciting part of my life is facing my fears! Will this not add to peace of mind?
