I did a 12 step program (not AA) that had me take an inventory. An inventory (if you've worked at a store/warehouse you'll know) is an accounting of what you have, where you stand RIGHT NOW.
You don't just count losses in an inventory, You count everything and see what's what. Losses, gains, and the balances as well. It's not about fault finding alone. When we look at our numbers/ledgers we can see where we are doing great, and where we are bleeding/losing. It's information we can use as we move into our future.
My step ten is like a cycle count, which means a little count of certain things...a sort of spot check.
I don't want to live a life where all I do is ask myself "what did I F up today?"
