So Step Six - "Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character" - is A.A.'s way of stating the best possible
attitude one can take in order to make a beginning on this lifetime job. This
does not mean that we expect all our character defects to be lifted out of us
as the drive to drink was. A few of them may be, but with most of them we shall
have to be content with patient improvement. The words "entirely
ready" underline the fact that we want to aim at the very best we know or
can learn. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 65
I firmly
believe that willingness is the most important component of any kind of
successful life. The willingness to try
fail and try again, aka grit, is what makes successful people success. Everybody has fails and setbacks. Overcoming is the definition of success.
