There
is great merit in a good self-appraisal at
the end of the day. It is hard to get through the waking hours… about sixteen
of them… without falling into one or more of these ego traps (back in the day
we used to call them “ego-trips” but an ego trap describes them better). This
is so because my day involves contact with other people: even more so because
my days are invigorated by working with others in recovery. Therefore, I sit in
meditation and take an inventory before I begin my day, I find that I can spot
attempts to rationalize my conduct as they occur and often need not even be
considered as the day ends. However, how much better it is to lay my head down
on my pillow when I have knowledge of where I have gone, as well as the
progress I have made, before the balm of slumber soothes my spirit through the
night?
