There is work to be done before starting step four. We need to do a self assessment so that we have a starting point to work on.
The 12 & 12 talks about the 3 basic instincts of life: Social / Security / Sex
This week we talk about the first two. Social acceptance is a powerful part of our idea of self. We all want to be accepted and popular. But, shortcuts and running on self-will puts us in conflict and that is what creates pain and suffering for ourselves.
Security is making sure we are living today but also making sure we are secure in the future. ie: live for today, but get life insurance to plan for tomorrow.
Because planning for something is a great feeling until we have to start achieving our goals only to keep up with others.
