I have a complaint about this post. It should have come with a remark that confession is good for the soul. You need to look at each question and confess the truth of the matter to yourself and to God. That is the way a list like this can be of help. But you have to be truthful. "To thy ownself be true." To read this list of questions and not answer truthfully TO YOURSELF is suicidal. Ain't nobody gonna hear you but You and God.
ReplyDeleteThis is a man's list. It ain't about process but rather about results. Sissies will have a hard time just answering yes or no. But chatter is useless. You either can or you can't. Plain and simple. If you find some things you are lacking then get your ass in gear!
Love it, China.
