The title is so true that life will kick our stuff “script”  The steps helps with not fleeing from what is uncomfortable by using .  The step 7 can help give humble time to stand still with compassion and thus not automatically flee, act out or use.  We can with time and patience train ourselves to embrace the stuff that hurts and learn from it.  Using loving kindness can help us genuinly  appreciate life as a gift both good and bad.  Not life as a given and only appreciate with what we are getting from it because of our neediness.  If we follow a principled way of living “steps” we can be openhearted.  The life script can make us shut down, be defended, act out and feel dis-satisfied.  Working on ourself and applying step 7 can stop or balance escalated discomfort which can eventually allow us access to our genuine heart and authenticity.  This can stop the process of reviving script by toxic internal thinking and conversations which escalate feelings and leave us not in reality but in the past.
