Strong morals are our ethical GPS. They guide us through life’s complex terrain. Think of many difficult situations you have encountered; your morals likely held you back from catastrophe.
But here’s the rub: What if we’re using this GPS to navigate everyone’s journey but our own?
We’re quick to recalculate others’ routes. “You should have turned left at kindness!” “You missed the exit for integrity!”
Meanwhile, we’re cruising down hypocrisy highway, ignoring our moral traffic signals.
If our moral code becomes a weapon rather than a tool, we’ve missed the exit to personal growth.
Are you using your morals as a mirror or a magnifying glass? The answer might reveal more about your journey than those you’re judging.
In the moral marathon, the only person we should be racing is yesterday’s version of ourselves.
