Good question. I did some reading in the BB, here are a few quotes with comments:

Quote:
We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically
It may not say directly to inventory what we do right, but how would we know good things are happening automatically unless we were doing an inventory/acknowledgement of things done right.

Quote:
If we have carefully followed directions, we have begun to sense the flow of His Spirit into us. To some extent we have become God-conscious. We have begun to develop this vital sixth sense.
Is not being "God-conscious" an awareness/inventory of our rights as we do them?

If we inventory our day as we go along and also at the end of the day do we really have any choice but to see and acknowledge our good as well as our bad?

The good leaves us with a feeling of progress, the bad lets us see what we need to work on.

Although it does not direct us explicitely to take an inventory of the good, we have no choice but to see the good in ourselves.

Actually if we inventory our day we are inventorying the good and the bad, if it is good.... no action is needed, if it is bad we take action.
