It is easy to live one's life never asking hard questions. It takes little effort to simply get into a routine and continue with that course. Socrates was correct when he wrote his often quoted statement, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
Improving one's life begins with a serious examination of the make-up of what constitutes the life we are now living. We need to be honest and face the truth about ourselves. Only then can we establish the first step in planning how we are going to improve.
Over the course of the next few days, take time to examine your life. How are you investing your time and your money? What are your main interests? Are you learning and broadening yourself? What excites you? What are your goals for this year?
To grow in knowledge of God we must also grow in knowledge of ourselves,
and the knowledge we must acquire is largely painful and unwelcome.
--David B. Clotfelter
