Self exam

“Most people fail to perform emotional self-examinations, and too often if they do, they ruminate on what they find instead of seeking resolution and healing.  Similarly, we fail to conduct routine checks to ensure that the persons we work with or live with are really being open and honest with their feelings.  I fear that the busyness of our lives lends itself to assumptions, expectations, and considerations that often allow unresolved issues from our past to multiply into a cancerous growth within our soul.  Ignoring the accumulations of wounds, offenses, slights, and injustices that we have endured can lead to an outbreak of serious problems that debilitate relationships and end productivity.”
