Interestingly, some things are so common to all of us. Like what? Do you ever stop to speak to yourself about mistakes?
- Its all about I, me, and myself
2.We like taking credit that belongs to God and others
3.Talk too much and hardly listen
4.Quick in making mistakes and so slow in learning anything
5.Quick to blame all others but ourselves
All these lead to one major question;Do you ever stop to speak to yourself about mistakes?” I mean, it’s much easier blaming all those that don’t agree with us but is that fair by any standards? But seriously, have we ever taken time to ask ourselves what we do that puts away those that we hang around with?
It will indeed help to take time and evaluate our thought process, the words we speak, and the negative contribution we make to our daily frustrations. Do you ever stop to speak to yourself about mistakes? Does that make sense?
Each point touches on deep truths about human nature, pride, and accountability. Here’s a brief reflection on each:
“It’s all about I, me, and myself”
— This speaks to ego and self-centeredness. We often place ourselves at the center of everything, forgetting the bigger picture — community, purpose, or even God.
“We like taking credit that belongs to God and others”
— A clear call-out of pride and ingratitude. It’s easy to celebrate achievements without acknowledging the shoulders we stand on — or the grace that enabled them.
“Talk too much and hardly listen”
— Listening is a lost art. In a world that rewards loud voices and fast opinions, true listening becomes rare but incredibly powerful.
“Quick in making mistakes and so slow in learning anything”
— Mistakes are part of being human, but repeating them without reflection becomes a deeper issue. Growth requires humility, and humility requires patience. Do you ever stop to speak to yourself about mistakes in order to grow?
“Quick to blame all others but ourselves”
— Accountability is hard. It’s always easier to point fingers than to look in the mirror — but healing starts when we own our part.
