Step Six Chart

WILLINGNESS is the principle behind the 6th Step. Once we are aware of our defects of character, our task is to be willing to do the footwork of the program and keep ourselves open and willing to the metamorphosis that HP will facilitate in our lives.

One more issue involved in the Sixth Step is who we will be once our defects of character are removed.

What are some of my character defects and their positive counterparts?
