How to inventory [boiling down the 4th step into very quick easy way].
When you are blaming someone else. Stop. Be quiet inside.
Write the prayer:  God help me to see the truth.
Then ask:

1. 
   
2. God where am I being selfish? 
   

[Selfish means you want a situation and everybody to do things your way)
2. What’s my action plan to be of service to you God and others?
That is faith that works.  A faith without works is dead.

Prayer for when not willing to pay the price of being humble.
[Definition of humility: looking at ourselves honestly and truthfully].

Dear God, Help me to be willing to be willing. Amen.
