When I worked the Fourth Step this way, I was surprised. Assets? WHAT ASSETS? Wasn't the whole point that I was a terrible, messed up and unworthy human? And I was terrified that taking a 4th Step was just going to confirm my worst fears about myself.

That's where that "fearless" part comes in again. This is only an inventory. And these steps are written in a particular order FOR A REASON. If we have worked the first 3 steps, then we have a connection to a Higher Power that will walk with us thru the scary and unknown parts of our life.

We should now have a list of good qualities to fortify us for the rest of the inventory. With each and every good quality we surveyed, we may have considered a quality we find uncomfortable to acknowledge. A thorough inventory, as we stated in the beginning of this chapter includes our positive as well as negative behaviors and thoughts.
