It's Obvious, But...

Step Six follows Steps One through Five.  
 
I know I’m stating the obvious. But without my fully accepting that I’m defeated (Step One), without recognizing a source of hope (Step Two), without making a decision to cooperate with that source (Step Three), without taking a detached and honest inventory (Step Four), without coming out of hiding and shedding daylight on my defects (Step Five), I am not entirely ready.  
 
Without first taking a deliberate and unavoidably painful look within, I will remain attached to how I’ve learned to “get by.”
 
I’ll talk about this vital sequence and what it means to me on Saturday. Join me.
