Still out on our fact-finding mission in the Fourth Step, we start taking a closer look at what’s really going on here. We all have instincts in life, things we try to keep in balance as we move through the world. And when those get threatened or hurt, we don’t usually just sit there… we react.
So now we take a look.
Did they threaten my money?
My security?
My relationships?
Did they mess with my sex life or sense of connection with anyone?
Did they hit my self-esteem… make me feel less than, or have me questioning if I’m even a decent person?
Did it embarrass me?
Did they get in the way of what I thought I was supposed to become?
In this third column, we’re answering a simple question:
What did it really affect in me? Where did they hit that need?
We’re not spinning stories, and we’re not jumping ahead. We’re just looking at it clean. Keeping it professional. Just the facts.
Because we’re in the business of living now, and if something keeps throwing us off from being spiritually grounded decent people, it’s worth knowing exactly where and how its coming from.
So what’s actually being affected here… and can we write it down without exaggerating?
