Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself
Leo Tolstoy
Long before Daniel Goleman sold millions of books declaring that self-awareness increases emotional intelligence, Jesus was encouraging people to look in the mirror. In particular, Jesus pointed out that it is not wise to remove a "speck" from a neighbor's eye without first removing the "log" that is in our own (Matthew 7:4). In my experience developing self-awareness is similar to removing something from my eye. Although it begins with self-examination, it almost always requires help from others who are willing to be honest with me.
