“moish: “i know i’m not really part of this thread”
well, you are now! 🙂
seriously speaking, the first step of growth is knowing where you are. Sit down, and be honest with yourself: how well am I doing? Do I learn/daven/talk/etc like I should? What am I doing wrong, what am I doing right? What do I need to work on? If you’re not honest with yourself, and you don’t know where you’re holding, how can you possibly change yourself? “
“…you’re talking to the wrong guy…”
Ok, reading my post now, I realize that I made it sound like the whole post was just to moish. I only meant the first part for moish, and the second part (starting with seriously) was to everybody. I’ll try being clearer on this from now on.
