Self

Alma 32:14 
"And now, as I said unto you, that because ye were compelled to be ^ahumble ye were blessed, do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word?"


Is there anything more difficult than spotting our own failings? It is difficult to examine thoughts, opinions, and actions and say: "This here is what I need to fix; this is where I am wrong." It is probably easier when we are in a difficult circumstance, but nearly impossible when things are well. 
I read a scripture like the one above, like I did this morning and I think to myself: "How honest am I in self-appraisal?" I am probably biased in my own favor. And then I think: "Instead of spending a few minutes examining my life, I examined my ability to examine myself." Now I feel like I belong in Inception. We must go deeper! Stupid boy.
Maybe this everyday journal writing is a bad idea.
