Bear Your Cross Daily

Step 10 gets into the maintenance steps. While Step 10 advises taking continued personal inventory and admitting when we're wrong, Christians do that through repentance as part of denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following Jesus.

Taking up our cross on a daily basis and following Jesus flies in the face of what the world wants us to do. Following Jesus isn't without earthly hardship and persecution. It's the Heavenly reward Jesus won for us that keeps us motivated to follow him.
