One way an addict in recovery reclaims themselves is with character assets. I was not (and am not) all bad. I did some really stupid things (unlike me, ever). That doesn’t mean the bad things are being covered up, but if I feel less like a piece of doo-doo, I am more likely to be honest about dealing with those bad things. God has been great at reminding of the assets since I don’t like to find those in myself. I confuse it with ego sometimes. It’s not about ego, it’s about being humble enough to accept those good qualities. I AM worthy and deserving of a better life.

I love it! I think we too often put the focus on what someone has done wrong and lash out at them. The idea here focuses on the positive. I think we all need to put this into practice. Maybe we can’t put someone in a circle and yell at them, but we can lift them up and point out all the great things they do.

Thank you for sharing!

Love this.
sometimes in my highschool classroom if a kid puts down another, I will make them say 3 nice things. The kids love it…and the other classmates police it even better than I do.
But I love this picture of an entire village shouting out good things….

Well,I typed out something really good,and lost it.
Anyhow,the shortened version is:
This would be a great idea,that I could use myself too at times.
I am already well aware of what I do wrong or where I fall short.It would be good to be reminded of the opposite instead.
This does go along with the basis of forgiveness well too.Because we think that they’ll never realize how they’ve hurt us,unless we remind them.When revenge is never ours to begin with.Its Gods to do that part.
For me,one of the best examples of that that I have seen is in The Green Mile,when the head guard treats everyone like a person,instead of the crime they’ve been convicted of.
Even if thats not the best example,it showed alot to me on that subject.Because if we are honest,our first reaction would never be that.
Shaming is more along the lines of what comes up first.
Well,thats as much of it as I remember now.I’m never short on words either.
