What should we listen to?  There's so much we're told to listen to...
our heart
our conscience
our desires
our logic
our friends
our common sense
our world
our God

But where do these all overlap?  How can I tell when I'm writing my personal desires off as what I believe should happen or is meant/destined to happen?  Even worse, what about when we write off our personal desires as "God's will"?  The obvious tell would be when the two clearly conflict.  But just because paths don't conflict doesn't mean that they are one in the same.
Who to believe?  I fear I too often deceive myself.  Or maybe I'm just too paranoid and think I'm deceiving myself.  I could play this game all night.


I'm scared I hold people in too high regard, morally speaking.  I'm not talking purely about deeds, but rather how strongly they value loyalty, compassion, trust, or patience.  Perhaps I only hold those in high regard that I want to place on a pedestal, to falsely craft them in my mind into who I want them to be, not who they are.  I've definitely caught myself red-handed in that regard before.  But I like to think I learned, cultivated greater discernment.  

Watch what you say about people around people.  It's amazing how the simplest things can fill you with doubts.
