It's interesting to me that we were made with such a first person perspective. That it's so easy to be selfish, because we only really experience our own emotions and reactions and motivations. It's so easy to be removed from how others think and feel. I'm so aware of the paper cut on my pinkie that makes typing "a" a little difficult. But I would never know if someone else had something like that. I guess it helps me appreciate communication (thanks J for letting me rabble random thoughts, and for the others that let me expand vocally on thoughts), but I know I want to continue to improve on listening. I get easily distracted, and I want to get better at focusing on others, since it's too easy now to know how I'm feeling (after counseling :) ). So I guess that's a resolution and a prayer, to continue to be honest with myself, and then get outside of myself already.
Being honest with myself is hard sometimes but I have gotten better, the tough part is when i really really dislike what my honesty is telling me.
