Keeping The Focus On Them Keeps the Focus Off You

It’s easy to see what’s wrong with everybody else. It takes courage to look at yourself.

Sometimes blaming, controlling, or manipulating other people becomes a way of keeping the attention off what’s happening inside of us.

Matthew 7:3–5 talks about noticing the speck in someone else’s eye while ignoring the log in our own.

That doesn’t mean other people don’t have faults. It means I have to be willing to examine myself before I become consumed with correcting you.

Real change begins when I stop asking, “What’s wrong with them?” and have the courage to ask, “What’s going on with me?”
