Humility <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Seven is about working with our Higher Power to remove all our shortcomings. That won\u2019t happen simply because we want it to. Our Higher Power will help us, but we need to take action. This means that from now on, every choice that we make has to be based on our new principles, attitudes and expectations. We need humility, honesty and determination to make this happen. We are entering new territory and every move we make should f irst be considered, as if we were in a\u00a0minefield. Step Seven is one of the real work Steps where we put into action the ideas we have learnt so far. For example, if people-pleasing is one of our defects of character, now is the time to choose to say no when someone tries to manipulate you. Am I\u00a0ready to make the right choices? <\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u00a0have committed to moving forward in life without these old behaviours. There will be moments when I\u00a0will find it hard to make choices that are good for my long-term growth. The surrender and humility that I\u00a0have been practising since I\u00a0started work on the Steps are not marks of weakness but are there to give me a\u00a0realistic sense of myself which will enable me to interact normally with other human beings. I\u00a0no longer need to put on a\u00a0show of strength or try to tell people what they want to hear. I\u00a0can choose simply to be myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
