Often people think they have done well by admitting truth to themselves rather then staying in denial.  However a solitary self- appraisal is not the same as sharing who we are.  This is because it is a humbling experience that is about liberation, acceptance and even loving.  In the fellowship it is called housecleaning which includes inventory but also the significance of sharing this.  This step helps with not hanging onto “stuff” that can be toxic.  It challenges egotism , arrogance and fear.  It helps people put in place humility, fearlessness and honesty.  This is rather then pocketing false pride and hanging onto the fear of others seeing “Who we Are”.  It is paramount in developing a new attitude, a spiritual relationship and to be further willing to look at obstacles in life.  Its about casting out which requires this action of sharing with another.  It can be so relieving to let go of some of the “stuff” we hide about ourselves.  This is turn encourages courage which builds self esteem and confidence.  This challenges shame and humiliation through being honest and owning who we are.
