step two
Make myself aware of my flaws.
If I type out each of my flaws as I observe them, and post them here, then I can physically see why I’m not a better person.
First flaw, envy. Not so much envy of anyone in particular, but envy of things that I don’t have, and desire. Instead of desiring new things that I’m going to end up forgetting about, or eventually acquire and cast off for some other new thing, I’m going to be happy with what I have in at this point in my life.
Example, the new MacBook. I envy those who are able to get one now. But I don’t need one. I’m typing this on a computer that works just fine, and if I didn’t, I could type it on my phone which works just fine. That’s two more things that some people couldn’t even THINK about affording. Some people are envious of the fact that I could even have food everyday. And that they should.
That makes me think that my next step should be making an honest effort to help those who need things more than I.
