Reminder

It is just as self-deceptive to discount what is good in us as to justify what is not. This is false humility, which is as hampering as arrogance! The purpose of examining our characters-with as much honesty and detachment as possible-is not to exaggerate guilt for what we lack, but to use the good to overcome the faults.

“Let me learn to understand myself first; that will occupy me so fully that I will have no time nor thought to analyze and criticize [others.]”
