“A sure mark of maturity is to be painstakingly accountable at those times when we have stepped so far afield that we can't even see the field anymore. A second mark is to push aside the suffocating waves of pain, the rancid rot of shame, and the crushing press of humiliation in order to intentionally correct our actions and step back into the field. And the third mark of maturity is ruthlessly crafting and forcefully applying all of the corrections necessary within ourselves (despite whatever cost that might incur or pain it might cause) so that we never step out of the field again and in doing so never step all over ourselves or anyone else.”

“Isn't it ironic that we often condemn in others what we hate in ourselves? We project our shortcomings on others and confront them in their lives, not in ours.

In what is an obvious injustice, we consider the log in our eyes too small to be seen but the speck in others' eyes too big to be ignored.”
