Today's thought is: 
I am learning more about myself.

At first I thought Step Four was only about my guilty deeds.  I 
often felt like skipping my meeting when it came around—I felt 
guilty enough already without being reminded.

But I have learned that Step Four is useful for more than just 
recognizing errors and faults.  I can use it to recognize my assets, 
too.  It is really a tool for simply learning more about myself.  And 
in recovery, I need self-knowledge.  Perhaps I'll learn that I have 
more to offer than I thought.

I will write out my top two assets on cards and stick them on my 
bathroom mirror.
