- Many people avoid "self-exploration" because they fear that they might end up disliking themselves once they truly get to know who they are.
- Everyone can come to know themselves through their five senses. By sharpening our sensitivity to the world around us, we open ourselves to a richer, more fulfilling experience of life.
- The way a person interprets their life experiences reveals who they are. All interpretations should be held tentatively; as we gather more information and uncover more facts, we must be willing to revise our understanding if necessary. It is important to separate the event itself from our interpretation of it, and to collect as much information as possible before forming any conclusions.
- When we become sensitive to the shifts in our emotions, we gain insight into the type of person we are and how we respond to various situations. We can begin to understand not only what we do, but why we do it—especially in certain contexts.
- Human beings are products of desire. These desires can be long-term or short-term, but they are often interconnected.
- Desire often compels us to act. When our desires are healthy, they can lead us toward good outcomes. Carefully examining our desires—evaluating their strength and whether they are constructive—is an essential task. It is a necessary step in the journey of self-discovery and understanding who we truly are.
- Desire and emotion must always be connected to volition and rational intellect. If a person is ruled solely by desire and emotion, their life may eventually head toward ruin.
- I believe God gave us wisdom to tell right from wrong when it comes to our emotions, and also gave us willpower so we can make solid choices from the heart. We’ve got these five areas of the heart we need to use if we want to grow into whole, healthy people.
- Whether someone goes to church or not, this kind of self-discovery can really help make a marriage better. And if you add in the insight from the Bible and the help of the Holy Spirit, you can start seeing life through the lens of truth.
