Say and Do

It is so amazingly different--saying things and practicing (doing) them.

It is easier to point out the problem--what is the problem and what needs to be changed. However, it seems that to apply that to myself, which is, to practice that and make a change in myself, is so difficult, or, challenging.
Hmm...

There is a trap for those who give lectures. When he prays and receives inspiration from Heaven, it is easy to speak out feeling that God wants to deliver this message to the people through me--this is the message they need for their benefit. However, many times the case is that I am the very person who needed that message--who needed to humbly receive the message and practice it and change myself.

There is a trap. It is so tricky that I have a tendency to fail to be humble before that message for some reason--I treat lightly God's words coming out of my mouth because it is coming out of "my" mouth. This sort of arrogance is a problem... I will be trapped.

You can easily tell that someone is self-righteous and easily fail to check yourself how self-righteous you are.

Thus, the conclusion is always that I am the one who needs to change first. This is something nobody else can do but me. When I do it, however, that would benefit others as well as myself.
