What's in your inventory?

Everyone lives by a set of principles, few however take the time to consider what these principles entail, yet we demonstrate what we believe everyday by our actions. If you were to inventory your principles, what would be on the list? Do you spend time rehashing past events? Retelling stories of missed opportunities, lost love or perceived injustice? Are you quick to correct those you deem to be in “error”, holding strong opinions on issues, ready to engage in verbal combat at the drop of an allusion, yet never bothering to read or reflect on opposing views? Are you a master at backhanded compliments and clever asides and putdowns?

Other than you, unless of course you choose to, no one will see the inventory so be honest. Some of the principles outlined above include: contempt prior to investigation, morbid reflection, negative judgment, closed mindedness, grandiosity and emotional overcompensation. Of course the list can be added to, but I think you get the picture. Conversely when Living on the Spiritual Basis we find in our inventory: patience, tolerance, kindness, love, serenity, benefit of the doubt, open-mindedness, ready acceptance and living in the here and now among other positive attributes. There is probably no more important step we can take to be free of the fear driven life, so what's in your inventory?
