The Step 9 “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

This is an action step .  The importance of this is that “Faith without works is dead”.  If you look at the fact that inventory was taken then already one has subjected themselves to a drastic self appraisal.  This takes courage in itself which is something that one wants in surviving life and doing what is appropriate.

There is something truly liberating about being able to go to others and repair the damage done in the past. In life-script process it is about changing the path that one was going on to leave it open ended and ready for new “stuff”.  This could be in the form of memories, experiences, relationships and being committed to a different way of life that is principled centred.

The fact that one has already done inventory which is self appraisal means that script has been looked at.  Many people want to avoid looking at their life script process because it means their story being more real.  If this is the case in your story and your not satisfied in life and living to your full potential then appraisal means looking at “just that”.  Once its been looked at it becomes real and if one does not make the decisions to change the path then its about the choice to settle with unhappiness, dis-satisfaction and seeing life through tragic and bitter lenses.

The process of taking action cross-transacts the passivity of staying stuck or being on an impasse that may take till the “end of ones life”.  The feeling of fear often leaves people stuck and unhappy with living a joyless existence.  “This is not about life but just existing through it”. The taking action is an important, courageous and liberating step that is empowering.  It can give the message of , you can do this, you really can change your life path for the better. “You have a choice”.

“Take action and communicate where appropriate”.  It is an invitation into an adult way of thinking and being.  Rather then live out script which is usually operated from child feelings which come from the experience in ones past.  Also parental messages transferred from others.  While some messages, beliefs and values may be useful others may be limiting in ones journey. The invitation into adult means the energy goes into this “executive” part which can then take over the process and operate in the here and now.  The transferring of that energy means one has the chance to have so much more zest.  This is because living in script can be exhausting and time consuming and thus, zaps the energy resources that are so significant for well-being.
