Step 6: Am I Entirely Ready? (Part 1)

This is, basically, a step of reflection and introspection. After finishing step 5, they say it is good to go to a quiet place and really think about what has transpired. They say that we can feel like a great weight has been lifted from us. They are correct, at least that’s the way it was for me. I felt like I could finally use the word ‘honest’ in the same sentence as my own name. Now this program is asking me to take one last look at all of these character defects, or wrongs, or … whatever I choose to call those negative parts of my life.

I feel like I did this step almost immediately after the fifth step. The life I lived, until that point, was as fresh in my mind as it would ever be. Now I was ready to examine the scales that contained my past and future. All of the negativity of my past was on one side, and all of the possibilities of a future guided by my Holy Spirit on the other. For the most part, the future was unknown and a little intimidating, as I realized I would not have my old crutches for support. However, I now knew that, as a result of the first three steps, I have more power available to me than I could ever have imagined.

Our Spirits are strong and powerful and have been waiting for this moment to happen. We are ready to move on to a new way of life!
