Three questions that will reset your moral compass and reveal your self-improvement needs

Three questions that will reset your moral compass and reveal your self-improvement needs.    This title is tantalizing and daring at the same time.  "Your inner moral compass is by far the most sophisticated and valuable guide you could possibly have." Developing a strong inner moral compass is the focus in this excellent article.


"(NaturalNews) There is no shortage of organizations and people in this world that will tell you how you should be living your life. It's easy enough to follow someone else's moral compass if you are so inclined. The most ethical teachers throughout history, however, have instructed us to learn to trust our own inner compass, that internal "sense" of what is right and wrong, or the most appropriate course of action in every situation.


"Your inner moral compass is by far the most sophisticated and valuable guide you could possibly have. From navigating the complexities of a complicated moral dilemma to knowing how to treat your spouse or partner, your moral compass dictates the best course of action and prompts you to respond in kind. This isn't a new or complicated concept. Understanding morality is as simple as knowing what you'd do if a small child standing next to you were about to step into oncoming traffic. We all have an inner sense of how we ought to respond to other human beings. This is morality in its purest form."



"Why do this? Maybe you are a bigot. Perhaps you are dishonest in your business dealings or neglect your parenting responsibilities. Maybe you don't want to face the fact that you are addicted to something harmful. Denying to yourself what is probably obvious to others in your life is an age old tactic people use to save themselves from fear, trouble or embarrassment. Hiding the truth is, essentially, a form of deception.


"If you are brave enough to honestly answer these questions, then you are ahead of most of the population. Getting to honest answers will plant your feet squarely on "personal ethical" ground, effectively resetting your moral compass. Based on your answers, you can know your heartfelt obligations and best self-improvement goals. Honesty in this department, regardless of your acknowledged flaws, will probably deliver a huge sigh of relief and a healthy measure of self-respect as well.


When you arrive at the point in life where you aren't doing what you believe you shouldn't, doing everything you believe you should and remain unafraid to know everything there is to know about yourself, you will have arrived at a state of personal power that few have ever experienced."


Three questions that will reset your moral compass and reveal your self-improvement needs.  When you "pony up" with your true answers to the questions posed, it will become a whole new game for you.  A very thoughtful point of view.
