§ self-examination, i once felt, would have been §

Posted: Tue, Jul 30, 2013 07:52:21 AM

a painful exercise in futility. today, all that has changed.
i write that statement not from a sense of superiority, but simply to state a face. the fact is, i have found a great deal of payoff in doing a daily inventory. since it rewards me each and every day, like a good reward driven being, i continue to do it every day, hence reinforcing the behavior. what i do nor get is how others drift away from such a tool, but if i go there, there will be a smug and yes superior attitude presented. today, although tempted to do so, i am not about to go there. one less action for the corrective part of my daily inventory. in fact as the morning has slipped away from me, here, i really do not have too much more to say.
If you do not practice a daily inventory and have worked a TENTH STEP, then be assured you are missing out on one of the most incredible “tools” the program has given me. i say that without any malice or reservation, because for me, IT JUST WORKS!
off to the office to see if i can get past the roadblock i was presented with yesterday.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) A master of the art of war has said, 'I do not dare to be the host
(to commence the war); I prefer to be the guest (to act on the defensive).
I do not dare to advance an inch; I prefer to retire a foot.' This
is called marshalling the ranks where there are no ranks; baring the
arms (to fight) where there are no arms to bare; grasping the weapon
where there is no weapon to grasp; advancing against the enemy where
there is no enemy.
