Self-Awareness

"Know thyself" said an ancient philosopher which holds true today as of old. How many take time in silence and prayer to truly know themselves, to go into the depths of our souls. A recent article in The Pilot suggests asking ourselves certain questions:
1. What am I thinking about most often?
2. What is the state of my emotions?
3. What do my feelings tell me?
4. Can I detect the movement of divine grace within?
5. Has grace come to me in conversation with others?
Each question will give us a view from within and help us to grow into the person God created us to be. It's always so much easier to look at the other, but we could all challenge ourselves to first look within and then we would be empowered to change.
