Do you ever have to put yourself in check? Let’s say you have a negative thought, or maybe you say something you should not have said, or you have ill thoughts towards someone because of something they said or did, or perhaps you had a thought of judgement? I don’t know about you, but this happens to me often. While I’m continually growing and working to be a better me, I get things wrong, like I say something, I shouldn’t say or do something I shouldn’t. Learning is indeed a lifetime journey.

The exit that I needed to get off on wasn’t coming fast enough or…
