Listing Assets
IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO LIST MY ASSETS.
My sponsor suggested as I begin my 4th Step to choose five people in my life that I admire and respect the most.
I prayed: “God, help me see the beauty and the good in people and in life. Help me be aware of what I like in others, so that I can better define what I aspire to become.”
So I chose five people in my life whom I like and respect.
I made a list of their qualities that I admire.
I see now how many of these qualities I might correctly use to describe my-self, as well. If I don’t believe I already possess these qualities, could I be selling my-self short?
Or do these qualities describe who I aspire to be? If I define some new aspirations, I will transfer them to my goal list. I then will see how easy it is to begin defining and clarifying my dreams.

I strive to be whole, serene, peaceful woman, and I will make it my goal to become a better person even if it takes me the rest of my life to get there.
