   "We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
                                admitted it."

                                                                     Step Ten

   In Narcotics Anonymous, we've found that the more we live in harmony
   with our Higher Power's will for us, the greater the harmony in our
   lives.  We use the Tenth Step to help us maintain that harmony.  On a
   daily basis, we take time to look at our behavior.   Some of us measure
   each action with a very simple question:  "God's will, or mine?"

   In many cases, we find that our actions have been in tune with our Higher
   Power's will for us, and we in turn have been in tune with the world
   around us.   In some cases, however, we will discover inconsistencies
   between our behavior and our values.  We've been acting on our own will,
   not God's, and the result has been dissonance in our lives.

   When we discover such inconsistencies, we admit we've been wrong and
   take corrective action.  With greater awareness of what we believe God's
   will for us to be in such situations, we are less likely to repeat those
   actions.  And we are more likely to live in greater concord with our
   Higher Power's will for us and with the world around us.

   Just for today:  I wish to live in harmony with my world.  Today, I  will
   examine my actions, asking, "God's will, or mine?"
