Willing to Change: Noticing Our Hidden Character Defects

Change starts with willingness to let go of what no longer serves who we’re becoming. My character defects are hidden in plain sight, showing up whenever I am disturbed, frustrated, stressed, or hurt. Each inner disturbance is a cue for change. I’ve noticed that a character defect is always quietly steering my fear, pride, envy, or self-centeredness. Step 6 is a lesson in self-awareness to recognize those defects and find the willingness to release them instead of letting them define who I am.

That willingness takes humility and practice. Pausing long enough to reflect instead of reacting opens the door for growth. Change begins in that stillness. When I back away, mentally or physically, I can better see what’s mine to own. Transformation starts with being ready to change. When I’m ready, I start noticing. When I stop trying to defend myself, I become more aware of my role in my relationships and of the person I was meant to be.
