In the beginning, it is difficult and even painful to see the faults in yourself, the flaws in your soul, the error of your ways.

It is when we see our own flaws and our own errors that we can see that there is so much more room to become better! And so I have come to actually rejoice when I find something wrong with me!

And I smile.
