I've been thinking about this step for a while now.

Again, the insistence of God had me stumbling.

I have come to think of this step as the step of accepting what is - rather than what I want things to be - and stop trying to control everything around me. Its a very Taoist step to me! Being able to step back and just see what is (not easy, I'm sometimes very strong in my denial!) and work with what I have. Letting go of how I am doing things, how I think and approach things and trying something new. Getting a different perspective and having hope that things will work out for the better in the long run.

This is my take on step 3 - have I got it right?
