MOTIVES What am I really searching for in my life? Interesting activities? To meet my obligations to family and friends? To make myself into the kind of person I will enjoy living with? I may not realize all of these ideals, but it’s a joy to work toward them, watching myself grow, little by little. One good way is to take a really searching inventory and examine my motives. I need to understand why I do what I do, and say what I say. This will help me realize the kind of person I really am, and give me constructive ideas for improving what I don’t like about myself. Today’s Reminder It is far easier to be honest with other people than with myself. All of us are hampered to some degree by our need to justify our actions and words. Admitting my faults, to myself, to God and another human being, as suggested by the Fifth of the Twelve Steps, will give me a glimpse of the wonderful person I could be. “I will pray for self-fulfillment, and through conscious effort make some headway toward being at peace with myself, which is my ultimate goal, embracing all others.”
