We all have a line, a moral line we try and live our lives by. Whether you believe it or not that moral line is steeped in Christianity and the bible. This is true if you a believer or not. Why is it we cross that line so much? We blur it through justifications and when it is blurry enough we cross it pretending we couldn't see it anymore. It won't hurt just this once. Then it starts happening again and again. Pretty soon we try to move the line forward where we don't think we can cross it. That is the lie we tell ourselves. You will slowly or in some cases quickly move closer and closer until it becomes blurry yet again. We are all good at making justifications for our behaviour! It won't hurt just this once or better yet blame someone else.
We should be doing just the opposite. We should be pulling that line closer! You can't try to do it all at once because that is a losing proposition. It will cause you nothing but confusion and self doubt. It will cause the line to blur again. You have to take small steps and gain strength through success. Like any journey to becoming a better you it takes time, work, strength, and faith. Self control and self awareness are the 2 keys. It will never be easy to be honest about your weakness, but it's the only way to self discovery. I know we all place that line in different places, some probably have it 3 states away. We are all broken and flawed, but capable of so much more than we are. It just takes some courage so we can keep that line in focus!
