We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step Six

After taking the Fifth Step, many of us spend some time considering the exact nature of our wrongs and the part theyd played in making us who we were. What would our lives be like without, say, our arrogance?
Sure, arrogance had kept us apart from our fellows, preventing us from enjoying and learning from them. But arrogance had also served us well, propping up our ego in the face of critically low self-esteem. What advantage would be gained if our arrogance were removed, and what support would we be left with?
With arrogance gone, we would be one step closer to being restored to our proper place among others. We would become capable of appreciating their company and their wisdom and their challenges as their equals. Our support and guidance would come, if we chose, from the care offered us by our Higher Power; low self-esteem would cease to be an issue.
One by one, we examined our character defects this way, and found them all defectiveafter all, thats why theyre called defects. And were we entirely ready to have God remove all of them? Yes.

Just for today: I will thoroughly consider all my defects of character to discover whether I am ready to have the God of my understanding remove them.
In my Fourth Step I started finding out what of many defects of character I may have .In the Fifth Step we start too sort out our wrong and how they were part of our lives and actions. I had many character defects and needed to have God remove them for me .I am surely ready to have God remove my defects of character now .
