There are times when in order to " overcome " ourselves we need to " BE " ourselves. We need to be in the mood, the attitude to invite the consequences AND accept the consequences as well.
We can for instance practice change to change and this might work, we might PULL it off and we probably will give ourselves the credit.
When we lay ourselves " BARE " before God, our family and our neighbors we have no choice but to seek guidance and strength to change and by CHANGING the way we act and re-act AND to suffer if we have to for our public displays of juvenileness.
We cannot lay claim " a victory " unto ourselves under these conditions. For out of these episodes of exposing our weak selves- WE GROW and with growth comes maturity and with maturity the ability to admit honestly HOW this came about for us.
Every time we act this way, bearing ourselves honestly and openly we will not only affect our personalities, we will also build a " connection " between ourselves, God and the next situation of testing or trying. This connection, this " joining of the will's " if I may- God's and ours cannot be compromised by honest evaluation and giving due properly the origin of our success.
