Change starts with willingness to let go of what no longer serves who we’re becoming. My character defects are hidden in plain sight, showing up whenever I am disturbed, frustrated, stressed, or hurt. Each inner disturbance is a cue for change. I’ve noticed that a character defect is always quietly steering my fear, pride, envy, or self-centeredness. Step 6 is a lesson in self-awareness to recognize those defects and find the willingness to release them instead of letting them define who I am.

That willingness takes humility and practice. Pausing long enough to reflect instead of reacting opens the door for growth. Change begins in that stillness. When I back away, mentally or physically, I can better see what’s mine to own. Transformation starts with being ready to change. When I’m ready, I start noticing. When I stop trying to defend myself, I become more aware of my role in my relationships and of the person I was meant to be.
