A good thought.

The search for self-knowledge can turn up unpleasant truths. We do the vital work of healing and integrating those truths. But we sometimes take it too far. We take inner journeys and then castigate ourselves about what we find. We go looking for our flaws, on search-and-destroy missions against ourselves. I think we'd be happier if we instead unearthed our core of basic goodness.
Take time to generate compassion for yourself. Our spiritual work encompasses more than the discovery and cleansing of complexes. Play and joy have their place as well. God loves us more than we usually love ourselves.
