Taking responsibility for one's self

Our activities and successes are based on our inner strength and wholeness. To grow, it is necessary for us to recognize and correct our own faults. Yet, it is difficult to do this since we hide our shortcomings not only from others but from ourselves. When we gain the ability to recognize and correct our own bad habits, we begin to make rapid strides toward greater happiness and success in all spheres of life. Only by learning to admit our own faults can we become more tolerant and loving to our fellow man and to his shortcomings.
