Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

*Do you get a slight thrill whenever a TV or movie villain “gets what’s coming to them”?
*Do you confess your “sins” to church leaders or confide your foibles to friends?
*Do you analyze, criticize or gossip about your boss, your supervisor(s) or your coworkers?
*Do you ridicule the actions or beliefs of your enemies (including citizens of other
countries, worshipers of other religions, or member of other political parties)?
*Do you rationalize or justify the decisions from your past that incidentally caused others
pain?
*Do you find yourself wishing that you had had the courage to “go your own way” or
“live your own life”?
*Do you sometimes look back and feel that you tried to satisfy the expectations of others
instead of following a path that was in alignment with your True Self?
*Do you avoid opening up when others who ask you about your personal life?
*Do you wish you had a different job?
*Do you second-guess minor decisions, &/or feel paralyzed when confronted with major
ones?
*Do you get noticeably angry when things go wrong in your life?
*Do you wish you had kept in touch with more of your friends from the past?
*Do you disguise your personal faults, &/or downplay the effects of your failures?
*Do you experience regular headaches, &/or regular bouts of heartburn or indigestion?
*Do you warn others about the “mistakes” they are making with their lives?
*Do you use the word “sorry” more than once a month?
Remember, if you happened to answer any of these questions affirmatively, it does not
make you “weak” or “inferior” or “bad” in any way. It merely means that you have
identified some of the more subtle ways that regret is currently hampering your ability to
experience real Peace in your life … behaviors that are causing far more pain than
pleasure; bringing you far more harm than happiness.
