#20 Beyond Justification

Begin to notice how ofte you explain or justify yourself, your

words, your actions, decisions, etc. Who are you trying to convince?

And what is the story that you are pepetuating? Become aware of your

use of the word *because* or *but* when you speak. Stop your

sentence immediately. Begin again. Justification is an attempt to

manipulate the other person; decide to be still and know.
