If we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves.

As the authors, rather than the victims, of our character, we must continually revise ourselves. When you see something in yourself that needs correcting, own it one hundred percent. As you do so, you will start to catch the behavior first afterwards, then in the act, then when you see it coming, until before you know it, you will be laughing at yourself that you used to fall for that old trap, and smiling inside that you are past it.
