Have a good look at all aspects of your life and be honest with yourself about everything. Be honest about what is right for you and what aspects need to be changed.

Be honest with yourself about what you want to achieve in your life and what you want to become.
Search your soul, seek your truths and truly know who you are. This helps you to identify where you are now, where you want to be, and how to get there.
You must do the work to know yourself, identify your path in life, know who you really are, see the good and bad within yourself honestly, and know what your true needs and goals are. Learn to hear your inner-voice and listen to what it is telling you.
Radical honesty is literally one of the things that has saved me the most. I feel like it's a superpower if used unconditionally
It takes a lot of bravery to be able to be completely honest with yourself. It’s definitely a superpower!
This reminds me of the sign of the cross. Why would such a horrible symbol become the sign of Christianity? Because they recognized it as a sign of their salvation, yes, but also because they, like Christ, were not afraid to stare death in the face.
The virtue of courage is the opposite of the vice of cowardice or fear. And while fear is one of the greatest motivators, it is also the most paralyzing. Being radically honest with oneself is to rise above that fear and acknowledge true self.
Well said 👏
Sometimes I wonder if this is a little bit of blind faith though. How do you know devil worshippers did not infiltrate the church and rewrite some of the stories way back in the day. I don't have so much trust and faith in people. Evil resides on earth.
Nothing wrong with a little healthy skepticism. The reason much the teaching of Christ has withstood the test of time is because it rings true in the hearts of those who hear it. He does not speak from some distant place, but from within.
Faith is certainly part of the truth.
“The mystery of the kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that ‘they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand...'”
-Mk. 4:11-12
In other words, to look and see but not perceive is a matter of a lack of faith. Or perhaps, what many have been saying, a lack of gratitude. When we are grateful, it is an act of returning love to the Creator who blesses us, which is also an act of faith.
